- Hi,
-
- As kernel 1.3.95 (and above) does locking correctly you will get
- spurious error messages like
-
- fcntl_setlk() called by process 151 with broken flock() emulation
-
- if you use the broken flock() supplied in your libc. Now since a.out
- libc is no longer officially supported, here is an unofficial libc that I
- compiled which fixes the "problem". Basically it works for me. Tell me if
- you find something broken and I will (try to) fix it.
-
- Other than that, this new library has the some of the newer fixes from the
- libc5 branch (like new syslog.c, termcap 2.0.8, execvp.c, etc...). I will
- be maintaining a.out libc unofficially if you need any help.
-
- Only the libc.so.4.7.6 is provided. All other related libs should be intalled
- from the libc-4.7.5.bin.tar.gz available from sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/GCC.
- To install, gunzip the file libc.so.4.7.6.gz, move it to /lib and rerun the
- "ldconfig" command.
