glibc 2.2.2-7 will not build on sparc64

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ba glibc-2.2.2-7.src.rpm
2. cd /usr/src/redhat
3. rpm -ba SPECS/glibc.rpm
	

Actual Results:  make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/glibc-
2.2.2/string'

this is on a sparc ultra5
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2001-03-22 11:51:42 UTC 
It builds just fine (just tried it), but:
you either want to build a 32bit glibc, then do:
sparc32 rpm -ba -v glibc.spec
or (32bit glibc which will run on UltraSPARC only):
sparc32 rpm -ba -v --target=sparcv9-linux glibc.spec
or you want to build 64bit glibc, but then you should make sure you have
64bit toolchain ready - rpm -ba -v glibc.spec will build a 64bit glibc.
From the above messages it looks like you don't have 64bit toolchain in place,
or have wrong kernel headers (/usr/include/asm must be a directory with little
headers which either include asm-sparc/xy.h or asm-sparc64/xy.h depending on
preprocessor macros).
Comment 2 Jason Duerstock 2001-03-22 19:10:24 UTC 
The command used to assemble this file was:
as -Av9a -Qy -s -Av9a -64 -no-undeclared-regs -relax -
o /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/glibc-2.2.2/build-sparc64-
linux/string/strcat.o /tmp/cc68c0rr.s

Is this not enough to produce sparc64 binaries?
Comment 3 Jason Duerstock 2001-05-25 15:19:25 UTC 
glibc will now build using
rpm --target=sparc64 -ba SPECS/glibc.spec
