[Bug faq/333] Do not report build errors in bugzilla!


------- Additional Comments From sergstesh at yahoo dot com  2010-02-05 12:41 -------
I very carefully consider behavior of those whom I might help. Developers of
'glibc' are absolutely no freaking way such people - because first and foremost
they are not ready to admit they have bugs.

Regarding "Building glibc properly is a complex operation with many particular
dependencies" - let me translate it for you: build documentation is of
unbelievably low quality. It was enough for me to discover that having _exactly_
the same settings (i.e. both dependencies and command line options) I can
successfully build one 'glibc' version and fail to build another.

Yes, I started looking into build code - it does nasty things not documented
anywhere. IIRC, it, for example, discards CPPFLAGS, even though 'configure' help
message traditionally says the environment variable is supported.
