*	configure: Use autoconf 2.71	Siddhesh Poyarekar	2023-07-17	1	-0/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Bump autoconf requirement to 2.71 to allow regenerating configure on more recent distributions. autoconf 2.71 has been in Fedora since F36 and is the current version in Debian stable (bookworm). It appears to be current in Gentoo as well. All sysdeps configure and preconfigure scripts have also been regenerated; all changes are trivial transformations that do not affect functionality.

*	LIBC_SLIBDIR_RTLDDIR: substitute arguments in single quotes	Andreas Schwab	2018-01-25	1	-2/+2
\| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The arguments of the LIBC_SLIBDIR_RTLDDIR macro are used both in unquoted and single quoted context, so that neither shell nor makefile variable references work. Consistently put them in single quotes so that they can refer to makefile variables.
*	Require Linux kernel 3.2 or later on x86 / x86_64.	Joseph Myers	2017-05-08	1	-2/+0
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	As per the recent discussion, this patch implements a requirement for Linux 3.2 or later for x86 and x86_64. This is only the initial change to increase the configured minimum; it's expected that followup patches would deal with associated removal of conditionals that are no longer needed. If we remove the start-up test on the kernel version, of course the NEWS and README text should then be revised (to reflect that this version is just one such that glibc does not intend to include compatibility code for any older kernel version, rather than older kernels necessarily failing to work or glibc necessarily having compatibility code for newer interfaces). The followups would be able to assume presence of getcpu (x86_64), recvmmsg (not always through its own syscall, sometimes only through socketcall), sendmmsg (likewise), /proc/$pid/task/$tid/comm, f_flags from statfs, prlimit64. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure: Regenerated. * README: Update statement about Linux kernel requirements.
*	Require Linux 3.2 except on x86 / x86_64, 3.2 headers everywhere.	Joseph Myers	2016-02-24	1	-0/+2
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00885.html> I proposed a minimum Linux kernel version of 3.2 for glibc 2.24, since Linux 2.6.32 has reached EOL. In the discussion in February, some concerns were expressed about compatibility with OpenVZ containers. It's not clear that these are real issues, given OpenVZ backporting kernel features and faking the kernel version for guest software, as discussed in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00278.html>. It's also not clear that supporting running GNU/Linux distributions from late 2016 (at the earliest) on a kernel series from 2009 is a sensible expectation. However, as an interim step, this patch increases the requirement everywhere except x86 / x86_64 (since the controversy was only about those architectures); the special caveats and settings can easily be removed later when we're ready to increase the requirements on x86 / x86_64 (and if someone would like to raise the issue on LWN as suggested in the previous discussion, that would be welcome). 3.2 kernel headers are required everywhere by this patch. (x32 already requires 3.4 or later, so is unaffected by this patch.) As usual for such a change, this patch only changes the configure scripts and associated documentation. The intent is to follow up with removal of dead __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION conditionals. Each __ASSUME_* or other macro that becomes dead can then be removed independently. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION): Define to 3.2.0.

*	Rename localedir to complocaledir (bug 14259).	Carlos O'Donell	2015-11-27	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \|	In preparation to fix the --localedir configure argument we must move the existing conflicting definition of localedir to a more appropriate name. Given that all current internal uses of localedir relate to the compiled locales we rename to complocaledir.
*	Refactor handling of /lib64 etc. cases, move out of sysdeps/gnu/configure.ac.	Joseph Myers	2014-07-17	1	-0/+15
	This patch continues removing architecture-specific cases from non-architecture-specific files by moving the logic to use directories such as /lib64 out of sysdeps/gnu/configure.ac. A new macro LIBC_SLIBDIR_RTLDDIR is created that sysdeps configure scripts can use to declare the library directories to be used; the logic was previously duplicated in configure fragments for aarch64, mips and x32 as well as in sysdeps/gnu/configure.ac. This macro is used directly in sysdeps/gnu/configure.ac only to provide the /lib default (the logic saying that with --prefix=/usr shared libraries go in /lib not /usr/lib); the architecture cases formerly there are moved into various new or existing configure.ac files. The new macro is also used in the various architecture fragments that already had such logic. In the x32 there was previously a configure fragment, but it was a directly written one without a .ac file; now a .ac file is used there instead to generate configure. Tested x86_64 that the installed shared libraries, and the directory structure of the installation, are unchanged by this patch. There is an old bug report - bug 6441 - about library directories changing after reconfiguring. If this is still applicable - and I haven't attempted to confirm it or review the old patch pointed to in that bug - then this patch should reduce the number of places needing changing in any fix. * aclocal.m4 (LIBC_SLIBDIR_RTLDDIR): New macro. * sysdeps/gnu/configure.ac: Use LIBC_SLIBDIR_RTLDDIR.
