rsync - Apr 2002 - compilation fails on Cobalt RaQ2

Configure seems to work fine with no options passed, but a make attempt
fails in clientname.c:

gcc -I. -I. -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W -c clientname.c -o clientname.o
clientname.c: In function `client_addr':
clientname.c:55: warning: implicit declaration of function `getnameinfo'
clientname.c:56: `NI_NUMERICHOST' undeclared (first use this function)
clientname.c:56: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
clientname.c:56: for each function it appears in.)
clientname.c: In function `lookup_name':
clientname.c:164: `NI_NAMEREQD' undeclared (first use this function)
clientname.c:164: `NI_NUMERICSERV' undeclared (first use this function)
clientname.c:169: warning: implicit declaration of function `gai_strerror'
clientname.c:169: warning: format argument is not a pointer (arg 4)
clientname.c: In function `check_name':
clientname.c:247: warning: format argument is not a pointer (arg 4)
make: *** [clientname.o] Error 1

I'm happy to help debug/test this, but ISTM that somebody must have made
this work on the MIPS-based Cobalt boxes before...

Please CC me on any list traffic regarding this, as I'm not subscribed
to the list.

TIA,
Jon Lasser

Hello,

This problem probably occures because you have got a broken glibc library.
Is the Cobalt RaQ 2 based on RH 5.2? I know the RaQ 1 is, I maintain one.
The solution is to use rsync 2.4.8 (not one above 2.5.0, they don't like the
broken glibc, the ones below 2.5.0 don't care). That was my solution anyway.
You can also try to upgrade glibc. I think you'll need to upgrade to 2.9.
But be warned: you'll first have to update gcc and gmake, and that's a
*lot*
of shitwork...

If you succeed in upgrading glibc, drop me a line at jurr@tref.nl. I'd also
like to upgrade, but I'm having problems.

PS: I also tried to find a .mipsel.rpm or a Cobalt .pkg, but no luck there.
If you find one, please mail me ;)
