I get this, how I can resolve? Some dependecy missing?

Thank you

Comment 1 Hajime Tazaki 2014-07-11 11:17:13 EDT
elf-loader requires debug-version of ld.so which contains additional information to be used in elf-loader (offset values of some specific symbol in the library, etc).

In ubuntu and fedora (and centos afaik), there are debug version of libc packages (i.e., libc6-dbg or glibc-debug), which provide this file. In your environment, I guess there isn't and that's why the error.

without the debug version of library, elf-loader has no way to build (thus optional module in bakconf.xml).

What distribution are you using ? gentoo ? arch ?
Comment 2 natale.patriciello 2014-07-12 10:36:37 EDT
Okay, so the only point open is that bake try to build elf-loader anyway, also if it has detected that in my system there isn't the debug version of libc.

I'm actually compiling glibc with debugging symbols to see what I get..

Thank you
