{section: Perform a Clipped Port}

This log starts with some work for the general system port already having been done by another developer.

{section: Preparation of a new glibc external}

See the {wiki: FullPortLogDebianSixSixtyFourBit Debian 6 full port log} for more details.  Note that for Debian 9, =apt-get source glibc= applied the patches; =debian/rules patch= was probably a no-op.

{subsection: Locate and see how glibc builds}

{verbatim}
apt-get source glibc
cd glibc-2.24
debian/rules patch
cd ..
mv glibc-2.24 glibc-2.24-11
tar -z -c -f glibc-2.24-11.tar.gz glibc-2.24-11
cd glibc-2.24-11
debian/rules build |& tee build.out
{endverbatim}

The build failed.  Needed to do =apt-get build-dep glibc=.  This wanted =makeinfo=, but still failed, unable to find =selinux/selinux.h= a long way into the build.  Since =/usr/include/selinux/selinux.h= existed, I tried
=apt-get install linux-headers-4.9.0-3-all=.  This didn't help.  I tried starting over, in case the selinux headers were supposed to have been copied into the tree; didn't help.  Looked at other glibc external build comments, tried =apt-get install gcc-multilib=, because of the =debian/include= silliness.  (Why bother if you're going to make symlinks?)  This fixed the problem.

Run =apt-get install texi2html= to get makeinfo.

{subsection: Create the glibc external}

Follow the {wiki: FullPortLogDebianSixSixtyFourBit instructions}.  Note that parrot updates what it serves over HTTP from AFS every ten minutes.

Notes: the build system will warn but not fail if it doesn't find the glibc version it's looking for for standard universe.  This should probably be fixed.

The CMakeLists.txt in question is the one in =externals/bundles/glibc=.

{subsection: Patch the glibc external}

The Debian 8 patches all worked except for =disable-nscd.patch=, which had an obvious fix.

{subsection: Check the glibc external}

The new configure script _really_ wants the compiler to include flags.  The solution to making CMake do this was simple but not immediately obvious (escape the space rather than quote part of the string).

Unlike the previous builds, the generated =debian/include= appears to be necessary.  However, since it's constructed entirely out of symlinks into =/usr/include= (or empty files), I'm OK with keeping it around.
