building userland without a new kernel

["admin%datazap.net@localhost" <admin%datazap.net@localhost>]

Hi,

I have been having problems with building binaries with on Agnus (my
Amiga 2000 with a blizzard 2060). Alot of the binaries have ld.so errors
when I try to run them.

So, I compiled the same source on a dell, and it will fails to build the
same packages. Since, the problem seemed similar. I decided to update the
source, and this is what I did:

setenv CVS_RSH ssh
setenv CVSROOT anoncvs%anoncvs.NetBSD.org@localhost:/cvsroot
cd /usr/src
cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-5
make build

I have always been told to update the kernel first after an update, but
since I was updating a 1.5.3 system with 1.5.3 code, I didn't do this.
Infact, I was not even going to build a new kernel, because this was kind
of a quick fix (just to get things working), and I had plans to update to
2.0 once I get time to do it.

I was able to run "make build" 3 times in a row without a problem, but
then when I put it under a really heavy load things went wrong.

This box is colocated, so I couldn't read what it said on the screen. They
said it had alot of "0's", and if they hit the return key it would
respond. So, I am thinking that it must have been in the debugger
(although, I am not sure).

Although, it seemed to fix the problem of somethings failing to build, it
may have also caused some problems. I am not sure how to test the server
to make sure that it is stable, and that updating userland without the
kernel broke anything.

Also, is there anyway to know for sure if I was to update to the lastest
1.5 on my Amiga would it fix the problem of building broken binaries. I
have read that ld.so works differently on 68k machines. Also, it looks
like the source for ld is different for all platforms.

I would really like to be working on my second Amiga web server (Denise),
and installing 2.0. I would then backup everything on Agnus to a working
server, and have the new hard drives installed. I can't how every just try
to install 2.0, because I am afriad of having booting problem, because
right now I use gobsd to boot the server. Does, anyone know if I will be
able to boot a 2.0 kernel with gobsd?

I know that some of this maybe a little bit off topic for this list,
but I didn't get any response from the netbsd help list and it make an
port Amiga or a m68k specific issue. Any help would be greatly appricated!

Thanks,
Al
