dietlibc target

I am now finally in the stage 2 of the build. And the first thing that I see, is a problem that is bit more complex (I had this already half year ago as I was working on dietlibc). When you try to compile anything with gcc and the option -pipe it fails. But it fails iregullary. Every 10th time it compiles through. That is a very strange behaviour. I hope that I or someone else will find a solution to this problem.

I will report this bug to the dietlibc guys. Perhups they know this problem and/or a solution.

The program I used for testing looks like this:

int main() {
  return 0;
}

The error message looks like this:

/usr/dietlibc/lib-i386/start.o(.text+0x11): In function `_start':
: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

funny what ?

The fixes that make the dietlibc target compile till the 2nd stage should be in the ROCKLinux cvs soon. So if someone of you likes to can take a look in it. I will appreciate all help.

But till I have a solution i will remove -pipe from the command line using the cmd_wrapper (I really appreciate that we have it in ROCKLinux)
