[issues] Help: Build errors in eglibc 2.8 with OPTION_POSIX_C_LANG_WIDE_CHAR = n

["James, Kenneth" <Ken.James@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My apologies if this is not the correct forum for this question... feel
free to point me to the correct one.

I am attempting to build glibc-2.8 with LOCALE and WIDE_CHAR disabled. I
am getting undefined reference errors. Any help with this problem would
be appreciated.

The option-groups.config file I am using (and I believe I have all the
dependencies correct) is:

OPTION_EGLIBC_ADVANCED_INET6 = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_BACKTRACE = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_BSD = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_CXX_TESTS = n
OPTION_EGLIBC_CATGETS = n
OPTION_EGLIBC_CHARSETS = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_DB_ALIASES = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_ENVZ = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_FSTAB = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_GETLOGIN = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_INET = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_LIBM = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALES = n
OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE = n
OPTION_EGLIBC_NIS = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_NSSWITCH = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_RCMD = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_SPAWN = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_STREAMS = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_SUNRPC = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_UTMP = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_UTMPX = y
OPTION_EGLIBC_WORDEXP = y
OPTION_POSIX_C_LANG_WIDE_CHAR = n
OPTION_POSIX_REGEXP = y
OPTION_POSIX_WIDE_CHAR_DEVICE_IO = n

The failing command is:

Looking at the first unresolved symbol error...

/yow-lpggp15/kjames0/builds/eglibc/build/glibc-2.8_build/default/libc_pi
c.os: In
 function `__dcigettext':
(.text+0xbf40): undefined reference to `__libc_setlocale_lock'

The function __dcigettext is implemented in intl/dcigettext.c (as
DCIGETTEXT) and contains calls to __libc_setlocale_lock as follows:

#ifdef _LIBC
  __libc_rwlock_define (extern, __libc_setlocale_lock attribute_hidden)
  __libc_rwlock_rdlock (__libc_setlocale_lock);
#endif

I do not see any obvious #ifdefs that would remove this code due to the
deselection of the WIDE_CHAR option-group. The intl/Makefile includes
the source file (dcigettext) unconditionally in the routines variable.

What do I need to do to remove this build problem? I assume I am missing
something obvious because I am seeing the same issue with oher
option-groups. Any help would be appreciated

Ken.
