Error: No symbol version section for versioned symbol `sqrt@GLIBC_2.2.5'

Hi,

This is really a great effort, however, I couldn't manage to build Python using any of several versions of "force_link_glibc" that I tried. They all fail during make with this error message:

I am using CMake as my build toolchain. It's very possible I'm doing something wrong because I'm fairly new to CMake as well.

Hey, when you say you're using cmake as your build system, do you mean you're using a third party cmake build system for Python? I have actually tried a few of these and never got any to work to my satisfaction (missing "optional" modules, and just random issues with interop code). I actually originally created this repo to be used with a further project to create a package manager for c++ development tools, and as part of that I used it to build python, so you're in luck :D See here: https://github.com/wheybags/natup/blob/master/natup_pkg/packages/python.py

I'm planning to get back to the project when I have time, but for now I hope it can help you at least.

I meant that I was using the version of CMake distributed by my linux distribution (Ubuntu official repositories). Thanks for sharing your Python build example written in Python. ;-) I will give that a try.

I'm getting this same error for a much simpler C library: https://github.com/shirakumo/libfond

I had this error (or one very much like it), but found that putting the "-l" options (and the "-pthread" option if used) after anything I was compiling fixed the problem. i.e.:

broken: gcc -lm -pthread -o mylib.so filea.o, fileb.o working: gcc -o mylib.so filea.o fileb.o -lm -pthread

Hope this helps!
