Hi all, Anyone have rebuilt glibc (x86/32) rpms for RHEL 4/Centos 4.1 with the gcc''s -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs flag available around ? (to avoid performance drop on top of a NPTL based Dom0). Unfortunatelly we have around a closed source app that breaks if i disable NPTL... Many Thanxs in advance, Best Regards António _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Too busy to rebuild myself (and haven''t used rpms in a while). As a side note, I used the great images at http://jailtime.org to jumpstart a centos 4.1 and zimbra install, but had all kinds of problems until I re-enabled /lib/tls. I would love to see if this would help and get rid of all the warning messages from xen. -- Jeb Campbell jebc@c4solutions.net _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I have been using them with no issues( that I am aware of yet ) and the tls libs are moved in my setup.

Re: [Xen-users] xenU/glibc/nptl on RHEL 4/Centos 4.1
The jailtime.org <http://jailtime.org> images disable NPTL (by moving /lib/tls –> /lib/tls.disabled). Some apps b0rk with this. With NPTL enabled xenU are slower *except* if the glibc is recompiled with a special gcc flag (-mno-tls-direct-seg-refs). Centos/RHEL is no gentoo and rebuilding glibc proved to be tricky, so i 'm in search of a kinda soul with the same needs as i am that was able to rebuild glibc (with -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs) and kinda enough to share the new rpms... All the Best... António.

Ok -- enough arm twisting, I''m trying to build it ;) -- been on my list of things to do for a while. Trying to rebuild the stock rpm now and when I can successfully do that, I''ll add the flags, rebuild, and test. And the kind folks at jailtime.org said they would host the rpm and intructions. Should have something by lunch. All I have to do is add "-mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" to the CFLAGS right? (with gcc version 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22.1) )?

I supose so. At least that is what i do on gentoo, and it works...
