I downloaded the upgrade kit from plains a while ago and have started patching the sources. I have patched the /usr/include directory and now I have started trying to patch and rebuild libc.a. Can anyone tell me the required tar files that contain libc.a patch files?? I think I have narrowed it down to ansi.0[01], other.0[01], posix.00, and (maybe) string.00. Does anyone have any info on this?? Also, libc.a contains many .s files (such as ior.s, aor.s, etc. ---- remembering from not-so-good memory) that do not appear in the upgrade files. Are these files the same from 1.3 to 1.5.10?? As an aside, I recompiled libc.a with the missing routines last week. (V1.3). During the process, some 330 files were created in the source directory. After I was done, I deleted all .c and .s files. But now, when I run fsck on the device (hard disk), it says "Warning: huge directory /dev/hd7" or something like that. Should I be concerned?? Is there any way to tell the FS that there are no longer tons of files around?? Thanks for all help, -- Greg Larkin (ASIC Engineer) Viewlogic Systems, Inc.
