[Clfs-support] is it possible to build target OS in kernel 2.4 and glibc 2.3 in CLFS?

[Fred Liu]

Andrew and Code Monkey,

Thank you very much.

The reason why we still stick to CentOS3.9 is the some legacy software running on it are still needed by our business.

And just like what you said, I tried and got no luck today.

I also found a HINT -- http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/kernel-2.4.txt.
But the passage is sort of old, and author did not mention the actual gcc,g libc, and linux kernel version.
I cannot reply it either.

The idea is simple ¨C try to running latest gnu binary in linux 2.4. The host OS could be any latest linux distro.

But it seems waste of time to do it.

Many thanks.

Fred

Like Andrew said...   It's very unlikely that you will be able to chroot from a kernel 2.4 OS to do the CLFS build and the chroot method is not (likely) an option for your build.

Give it a try..   If you are able to successfully get to the end of the build of the cross compile tools, you have pretty good odds of getting it through the rest of the build.    And it won't take you too long to try it that far.
