 100
 101 <p>Sasha's only advice was to uncomment a line in the glibc_cdt.spec file that gunzip's these info files. I had seen that before. I did this and restarted a stepwise build @ step 3. I suspect, however, that were I to backtrack to step 1 or so this hack would be overwritten</p>
 102
 103 <h3>BC 5.3 build on RH 6.1</h3>
 104
 105 <p>Meantime BC development goes on to BC 5.3. Sasha sent a PDF file with instructions for building. Looks like they've incorporated some of the changes I suggested (fixing mktools to be part of step one as well as the patch spec). Unfortunately they have not incorporated the fix for RH 8.0 to the do_it script.</p>
 106
 107 <p>Still the build is progressing fairly nicely and it looks as if they've also reduced the number of steps from 17 -> 13 (though do_it still described steps > 13).</p>
 108
 109 <p>I had made a change or two to do_it essentially removing the su $BUILD_CMD_USER as that causes me problems and utilizing sudo around the mount commands in steps 7 and 11. I have configured Europa such that int has passwordless sudo privileges.</p>

 133
 134 <p>According to Sasha I downloaded a copy of glibc-2.2.93.5.src.rpm. Next I modified the spec file to include --enable-static-nss=yes. In attempting to rebuild using rpmbuild -bb I received notice that I had to get and install gd-devel-1.8.4-9.i386.rpm and libpng-devel-1.2.2-8.i386.rpm. After that the rpmbuild worked OK and I copied the libraries like so:</p>

 136 <div class="code"><pre>
 137 $ cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/glibc-2.2.93/build-i386-linux/resolv/libnss_dns.a /usr/lib/libnss_dns.a

 175 <p>When I look to see what's in that path I do see libc.info files (libc.info, libc.info-1, libc.info-10, etc.) but they are all gzipped (i.e. libc.info -> libc.info.gz, libc.info-10 -> libc.info-10.gz). My only suspicion is that something in this process changed to use gzip files and some other portion of this process is looking for the unzipped files.</p>
 176
 177 <p>As this appears to be dynamically created, I cannot simply unzip these files and continue on from this point. What should I do?</p>
 178
 179 <p>I have also been trying to perform the rpmbuild in steps (-bp, -bc, etc) to no avail. I've even tried to keep these .gz files around and place them in place so that the build/install can continue but then down the line I get problems like:</p>
