Hello, I recently tried to upgrade my glibc from 2.2* to 2.3.2 on my
RH7.3 box. glibc 2.2 is still there but I can no longer use GCC 3.2.1 (I
had both GCC 3.2.1 and 2.96 working just fine on this system prior to
the upgrade.)

When I try to recompile gcc 3.2.1 (with GCC 2.96), I get these errors
(after `make clean`, `configure`, then `make`, fro mthe "build"
directory. Also note GCC 3.2.1 is from a source rpm.) Note, before all
this, when I first installed GCC 3.2.1, it compiled just fine, never
changed any source or anything.

   $ make clean; ../configure --prefix=/usr/local
   $ make
   [...]
   jargrep.o: In function `extract_line':
   /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/gcc-3.2-20020903/build/fastjar/../../fastjar/
      jargrep.c:347: undefined reference to `__ctype_b_loc'
   /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/gcc-3.2-20020903/build/fastjar/../../fastjar/
      jargrep.c:349: undefined reference to `__ctype_b_loc'

   jargrep.o: In function `chk_wrd':

   /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/gcc-3.2-20020903/build/fastjar/../../fastjar/

And the existing GCC 3.2.1 seems broken now:

   $ cat program.c
   main(){}

# gcc 2.95
   $ /usr/bin/gcc program.c

# gcc 3.2.1
   $ /usr/local/bin/gcc program.c

   /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to
      `__libc_stack_end@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It seems it does not like something from the glibc 2.3.2 that I tried ot
install. It installed into /usr/local/lib while the old 2.2.5 glibs
stuff remains in /lib and /usr/lib. GCC 3.2.1 had originally been
installed in /usr/local too so I'm wondering if glibc 2.3.2 install
overrided something GCC uses in there??

(I even tried reisntalling all the glibc rpms (glibc, common, devel,
utils) 2.2.5, zlib,
ncurses (devel, c++-devel) 5.2-26, and gcc (c++, chill, objc) 2.96-113,
just in case. I even reisntalled libgcc-3.2.2-5.fdr.0.rh73.i386.rpm, but
that did nothing.)

I just don't understand why GCC 3.2.1 simply stopped working. Do I need
to dump glibc 2.3.2 (if so, how is this done?) or is there a way ot keep
it and make GCC 3.2.1 point back to 2.2.5, or make it recompile???

Thanks greatly for any help.
