After installing glibc 2.2.2 on my redhat 6.1 (with all necessary updates). I try to restart but my compter say i do not existst like you deleted root account and you are root. (i have seen people doing that ;-P ). I run configure with these command --bindir=/bin --sbindir=/sbin --libdir=/lib --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --sysconfdir=/etc

I als try to use --prefix=/ but then my system crashed and i couldn't start it up (init not found) and after getting that working su had segmentation fault an i couldn't log in.

I have a standard rh 6.1 system with the newest automake , lexinfo , gnu make , sed ,gawk and the other things where glibc says it was to old. (i am not @home so i can forget one sorry). And i also installed binutils and modutils.
all of them as source not as rpm.

What is the problem that i can't su or that my usermanagement compeltly crashed. what can i do about it ??.

Hidden strcmp in glibc

In glibc in file strcmp I see a definition of strcmp function and below it there is a macro "libc_hidden_builtin_def (strcmp)". This macro "libc_hidden_builtin_def (strcmp)" looks to be defining some platform(x32-64, i386) specific implementation of strcmp. Question is when is this...

switch_root

SWITCH_ROOT(8)						       System Administration						    SWITCH_ROOT(8)

NAME

       switch_root - switch to another filesystem as the root of the mount tree

SYNOPSIS

       switch_root [-hV]

       switch_root newroot init [arg...]

DESCRIPTION

       switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev, /sys and /run to newroot and makes newroot the new root filesystem and starts init process.

       WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Display version information and exit.

RETURN VALUE

       switch_root returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.

NOTES

       switch_root  will  fail	to  function if newroot is not the root of a mount. If you want to switch root into a directory that does not meet
       this requirement then you can first use a bind-mounting trick to turn any directory into a mount point:

	      mount --bind $DIR $DIR

SEE ALSO

       chroot(2), init(8), mkinitrd(8), mount(8)
