I'm trying to use the QNX gcc 4.2.1 toolchain as downloaded from the website. It looks like the ppc assembler was linked
 against glibc-2.4 which our RHEL 5.x 32-bit systems do not have installed. Curiously, other bits of the toolchain 
(preprocessor, cc1) work fine. 
 
$ /scratch/qnx632/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/ntoppc-as-2.17
/scratch/qnx632/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/ntoppc-as-2.17: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /
scratch/qnx632/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/ntoppc-as-2.17)
 
I downloaded and built glibc-2.4, installing it off to the side; attempting to install glibc is almost always a bad idea
. 
 
Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is insufficient to trick the dynamic linker into finding it. See strace output below.
 
Any idea how I can make the toolchain work without actually installing glibc-2.4? 
 
Thanks... Dave Barach
