glibc-2.4 and version.h
Howdy,
I have looked at the HOWTO, and some documentation for version 2.0.x,
the FAQ and the README.
slack 10.2, kernel 2.4.x
glibc-2.4
kernel source 2.6.16
gcc 4.1
Built the new gcc and installed it on a fresh partition. (trying to
make a distro)
Decompressed the new kernel sources.
Trying to build glibc 2.4 with --prefix pointed at the new partition,
and --alt-headers (or whatever) at the new kernel sources.
"make" is looking for linux/include/linux/version.h
This file does not exist in the new kernel source. Not even after
running configure and compiling the kernel. However it does exist in
the old kernel source, which is found by make, and then rejected for
being too old.
What is the best way to fix this?
-Thanks!

OK,
I was building the kernel with the O=../foo option, and configuring
glibc pointed at the root sources. version.h is stuck with the object
files at compile time. So the headers are in /usr/src/foo instead of
/usr/src/linux.
-Doh!
