Description of problem:

I am building an image base on linux kernel 2.6.7 or later but using linux 7.3 libraries. So I made a tarball with 7.3 libraries and untar on the Fedora Core 3, then chroot to it and build the image. The building process loops infinitely when mklibs reduces the library with the same number of unresolved symbols. 

Using the same tarball on Red Hat 9, go through the same steps to build the image, it works fine. 

I do not know why mklibs can find symbols on FC 3. Is there any difference for chroot or mklibs on Fedora Core 3 and Red Hat 9, or what different environment of the two systems caused the problem?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. tar development directory tree from Red Hat-7.3
2. untar it on Fedora Core 3 and chroot to it.
3. build image with mklibs to reduce the library.
  

Actual Results:  the process loops endlessly in mklibs with the same number of unsolved symbols.

Expected Results:  mklibs end up with 0 unsolved symbol.



Additional info:

Start Red Hat 9 with kernel 2.6.7, using the same steps, the image built successfully with 0 unresolved symbol.
