@ -763,6 +766,34 @@ If you're upgrading from glibc 2.0.x to 2.1 you have to recompile
libstdc++ since the library compiled for 2.0 is not compatible due to the new
Large File Support (LFS) in version 2.1.
2.20. Even statically linked programs need some shared libraries
which is not acceptable for me. What can I do?
{AJ} NSS (for details just type `info libc "Name Service Switch"')
won't work properly without shared libraries. NSS allows using
different services (e.g. NIS, files, db, hesiod) by just changing one
configuration file (/etc/nsswitch.conf) without relinking any
programs. The only disadvantage is that now static libraries need to
access shared libraries. This is handled transparently by the GNU C
library.
A solution is to configure glibc with --enable-static-nss. In this
case you can create a static binary that will use only the services
dns and files (change /etc/nsswitch.conf for this). You need
to link explicitly against all these services. For example:
gcc -static test-netdb.c -o test-netdb.c \
-lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv
The problem with this approach is that you've got to link every static
program that uses NSS routines with all those libraries.
{UD} In fact, one cannot say anymore that a libc compiled with this
option is using NSS. There is no switch anymore. Therefore it is
*highly* recommended *not* to use --enable-static-nss since this makes
the behaviour of the programs on the system inconsistent.

4.3. When I set the timezone I'm by setting the TZ environment variable
to EST5EDT things go wrong since glibc computes the wrong time
from this information.
{UD} The problem is that people still use the braindamaged POSIX
method to select the timezone using the TZ environment variable with a
format EST5EDT or whatever. People, read the POSIX standard, the
implemented behaviour is correct! What you see is in fact the result
of the decisions made while POSIX.1 was created. We've only
implemented the handling of TZ this way to be POSIX compliant. It is
not really meant to be used.
The alternative approach to handle timezones which is implemented is
the correct one to use: use the timezone database. This avoids all
the problems the POSIX method has plus it is much easier to use.
Simply run the tzselect shell script, answer the question and use the
name printed in the end by making a symlink to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/NAME (NAME is the returned value from tzselect)
from the file /etc/localtime. That's all. You never again have to
worry.
So, please avoid sending bug reports about time related problems if
you use the POSIX method and you have not verified something is really
broken by reading the POSIX standards.
