[buildd-tools-devel] Problem building glibc with sbuild

[Gustavo Noronha Silva]

Hey there!

I have an sbuild setup for a buildd I'm building, and everything seems
to be ok, except that I am having problems building glibc. This is what
I have in the build log (notice the gawk failures):

mv -f /build/buildd-glibc_2.9-7-i386-rPLNT1/glibc-2.9/build-tree/i386-libc/Versions.v.iT /build/buildd-glib

The build seems to work correctly when I use schroot directly. I noticed
that when I login to the chroot using sbuild-shell the output of
commands is a bit weird (ls lists stuff in a single column, instead of
with multiple columns as it would normally, and does with schroot).

The host is amd64, the chroot is a normal Debian i386 with no changes,
and sbuild is configured to use i386. glibc is the official source
package from Debian. Ideas?

Thanks,
