glibc compiling error with: error: '__EI___errno_location' specifies less restrictive attributes than its target '

Question

help me figure out the error i try to compiling glibc 2.24 and i have following error:

 ./../include/libc-symbols.h:413:26: error: '__EI___errno_location' specifies less restrictive attributes than its target '__errno_location': 'const', 'nothrow' [-Werror=missing-attributes]

i try to solve this error with:

but when compiling the error is repeated, tell me how to solve the error?

Answer 1

Piece of advice: try to get your distribution's glibc source(which is patched) first,

For example on ubuntu:

sudo apt-get source glibc

should download current glibc version;

I found the official glibc repo couldn't pass the compile phase, always encountering some kind of mystical errors.

Answer 2

it solved by ./configure --disable-werror
