[Gnewsense-dev] libc6 2.11.x in gNewSense repo

[Cato Auestad]

Hi,

Will there be introduced a newer version of glibc in gNewSense metad repo for mipsel anytime soon?
As far as I am able to tell, the current version of glibc is libc6-mips64_2.7 (which, I think, is over 3 years old), 

which does not have support for setcontext, getcontext etc.

I was able to pull off a unstable 2.11.x version of glibc from Debian MIPSel repo on my FuLoong, so I
can compile Racket (Scheme-based language interpreter/compiler) - who need setcontext and getcontext

to be able to work. However, I would love to be able to run Racket on gNewSense also.

I saw that Graziano had some posts about getcontext in glibc on the loongson-dev mailing list but seem to
have recieved very little attention from the participants about the issues.
