Compilation faliure

[Shridhar Daithankar]

Hello

I downloaded cvs copy of glibc sources and was trying to build on my 
Mandrake8.1 machine. I did not downloaded linuxthreads package as I didn't 
meant it for installation(at least as of now).

Following is directory structure I create and compiled.

--glibc-cvs
        ---libc
        ---build

I just  did a  ../configure --disable-sanity-checks from build, to keep from 
threads warning. After runing make I get following error.

In libc/malloc/hooks.c:535, I find that it's a #ifdef NO_THREADS. Now I don't 
see a reason why this should abort compilation as there is an else handler and 
everything else looks fine to. Or is it that global symbol max_total_mem is 
missing.

 Can anybody help me to get this thing compiled? I don't mind downloading 
linuxthreads. But is it OK if I download an older tarball for a cvs copy of 
glibc? My two attempts to sync linuxthreads cvs resulted in time out. I will 
attempt later though..
