I tried to build the eglibc v2.10.1 on Ubuntu since this only available as a source package and found the same problems as are caused by building glibc so here we go. I carried out the following steps in the /home/username/Desktop directory running in normal user mode (non root),

1. Downloaded the kernel source unzipped it into the desktop. Created a dir link ./kernel-source/include/asm to ./kernel-source/arch/x86/include/asm
Ran make defconfig and make include/linux/version.h inside the kernel source dir.
2. Downloaded and unzipped eglibc-2.10.1 into the desktop
3. Created a eglibc-build folder in desktop
4. Switched to eglibc-build folder and ran ../eglibc-2.10.1/configure --with-headers=/home/username/Desktop/kernal-source/include.
((Note that we are using the default setting for the install path /usr/local since this does not overwrite glibc when installed)
This was successful so ran make and someway into the process the following error messages occur,

../include/libc-symbols.h -o /home/martin/Desktop/eglib-build/misc/syslog.o -MD -MP -MF /home/martin/Desktop/eglib-build/misc/syslog.o.dt -MT /home/martin/Desktop/eglib-build/misc/syslog.o

This has occurred with glibc also and since eglibc is a patched version of glibc this is no surprise. Just what the heck is goig on? Is this a path error?
I have all the tools required. If anybody has installed glibc or eglibc without any problems then what is is required for a error free build?
