Samba problem

Hi!

I'm new to this quiet place :) While I've been running Gentoo on x86 for
over a year now, I just started using it for an old HP crate (Visualize
B132L), and so far it's been going resonably well.
Now there's a problem though: I emerged Samba 3.0.21b (the HP is gonna
be a file server) and it refuses to start:

| # /etc/init.d/samba start
| * samba -> start: smbd ...
| /usr/sbin/smbd: error while loading shared libraries: unexpected reloc type 0x42 [ !! ]
| * samba -> start: nmbd ...
| /usr/sbin/nmbd: error while loading shared libraries: unexpected reloc type 0x42 [ !! ]
| * Error: stopping services (see system logs)
| * samba -> stop: smbd ...
| * samba -> stop: nmbd ...

Google tells me this is an HPPA-specific problem and likely related to
an old glibc version. Now I do have the latest stable version for HPPA,
2.3.4.20040808-r1, and samba is stable as well so this shouldn't be
happening, should it? Perhaps only people who use a newer glibc tested
it before it went stable?
I'll try samba 3.0.14a-r2 today, it's said not to have this problem. If
I have a lot of time (haven't been used to compile times like this since
I deserted from NetBSD on my old Amiga to an Athlon box) I'll also try
the combination with a newer glibc---maybe if I can leave the box alone
next weekend.

cheers!
Matthias

No, no -pie here...

Well, I compiled the older version and it's working fine, so it's not a
big problem so far.

Is there a current list of HPPA-specific issues for glibc? I'm not sure
if I can be of much help as I'm fairly new to this platform (been using
HP/UX for a while but this is my first Linux on it) but I've done some
bitfiddling on various things from 6502 and m68k to PPCs, so I'd give it
a try anyway.

cheers!
