Some interest in Crux-arm64
by Thierry Moreau 20 Apr '18

Hi! The Odroid C2 Arm64 SBC is getting some attention these days. Its video capability seems to be a driver for some decent shelf life at our local distributors. If one whishes integrated WIFI plus SATA in the Arm64 world, ASUS has the Tinker Board S, see https://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/Tinker%20Board%20S/HelpDesk_Download/ I am working towards Crux-arm64 on the OdroidC2, having a cross-compiled Linux kernel (3.16) booting either Ubuntu or ArchLinux. Crux is the only distribution I self-support for X86 devices. I "git cloned" much of crux-arm.nu/gitweb. I have a previous experience of re-packaging Crux X86-64 (basically to make a "features-lean" system such that security-wise, the attack surface is reduced). In this new Arm64 project, I might be able to contribute back to the crux-arm.nu contents. Any useful tip, suggestion, or comment? Regards, - Thierry Moreau

ldconfig fires unknown machine 40

Sorry for sending first e-mail html formated... Hello, I started translating the packages from the crux-arm project. 1st ToolchainSetup was OK 2nd PkgutilsCross was OK 3. buildingPackages returns the error messages "/sbin/ldconfig: /lib/libm.so.6 is for unknown machine 40." after compiling glibc. Once the /etc/ld.so.conf file exists in the toolchain directory, pkgadd calls ldconfig, which fails. I found hints on the Internet that from version 2.16 ldconfig no longer accepts the libraries of type EM_ARM if it was compiled for X86 and ejects the error messages from above. What is the recommended procedure? Do I need a compile environment with glibc < 2.16 or is there an adaptation for glibc 2.23/2.24, so that ldconfig also supports libraries of type ARM. Thanks Helmut
