I have now tried to find the correct way to get this damned file.
The valgrind error message says

The package you need
valgrind:  to install for fix (1) is called
valgrind:
valgrind:    On Debian, Ubuntu:                 libc6-dbg
valgrind:    On SuSE, openSuSE, Fedora, RHEL:   glibc-debuginfo


I have absolutely no experience compiling linux components including 
glibc or gcc or ...

I can not find a package glibc-debuginfo in the eldk sources and all 
other SRPMS I have compiled and checked do not contain ld.so*
The only glibc-debuginfo I can find on the net is for x86 and a 
different version eldk is using.

I am willing to spend my time to learn about it but could you please 
tell me what I really have to do to get this beast?

The supplier of the board we are using supports ELDK 4.2 so I can not 
switch to another release at the moment.


BTW, did you find anything in your old backup?



Thanks
