Re: Strange client behavior on ucLibc

The system doesn't have gdb on it at all, being an extremely stripped
down uclibc root image. I will do that test with
--enable-maintainer-mode though when I get home.

I wanted to only test the client as well, with no support for a local
repository. I didn't see any options in the makefile that allowed you
to compile only the client and run checks only on the client. Does
that option exist in make, or is it something that needs to be
configured in ./configure?

It's interesting to note that with the same archive compiled over on
my debian system as static, roughly the same tests fail. The only
similarity between the two systems is that I do not have BDB installed
and they're both i386 (debian is on an athlon, uclibc is on a Via C3.)
Do the tests function when the system is compiled without BDB?
Secondly, svn statically compiled STILL requires about 2.9 megabytes
of libraries due to glibc's limitations with name resolving + static
compiling. It did function on the update however when I moved those
libraries over to the uclibc system. It works, but it's messy.
