@ -215,8 +215,15 @@ may not have all the features GNU libc requires. The current releases of
egcs (1.0.3 and 1.1.1) should work with the GNU C library (for powerpc see
question 1.5; for ARM see question 1.6).
{ZW} Due to problems with C++ exception handling, you must use EGCS (any
version) to compile version 2.1 of GNU libc. See question 2.8 for details.
While the GNU CC should be able to compile glibc it is nevertheless adviced
to use EGCS. Comparing the sizes of glibc on Intel compiled with a recent
EGCS and gcc 2.8.1 shows this:
text data bss dec hex filename
egcs-2.93.10 862897 15944 12824 891665 d9b11 libc.so
gcc-2.8.1 959965 16468 12152 988585 f15a9 libc.so

For glibc 2.1, we've chosen to do it the other way around: libc.so
explicitly provides the EH functions. This is to prevent other shared
libraries from doing it. You must therefore compile glibc 2.1 with EGCS.
Again, it doesn't matter what compiler you use for your programs.
libraries from doing it.
{UD} Starting with glibc 2.1.1 you can compile glibc with gcc 2.8.1 or
newer since we have explicitly add references to the functions causing the
problem. But you nevertheless should use EGCS for other reasons
(see question 1.2).
2.9. How can I compile gcc 2.7.2.1 from the gcc source code using
glibc 2.x?
{AJ} There's only correct support for glibc 2.0.x in gcc 2.7.2.3 or later.
But you should get at least gcc 2.8.1 or egcs 1.0.2 (or later versions)
But you should get at least gcc 2.8.1 or egcs 1.1 (or later versions)
