Building glibc 4.0.2 with gcc 3.2.2

[Piyush Garyali]

Hi,

Building glibc 4.0.2 with gcc 3.2.2 on a redhat machine causes a
compile error about some CFI assembler support. Any ideas would be
welcome

Cheers

Migration of mangled names

[Piyush Garyali]

Is there any solution to fix the troubles which result from the change
to the name mangling algorithm between 3.2 and 2.95 ?

thanks

I meant other than recompiling the code of course. I have some
binaries without the source code. does 3.2 support the old mangling
algorithm.
