As i blogged before i'm going to be the happy (?) owner of a Nokia N810. On this device runs a Linux with a special distribution and there is also a Development SDK, which can be run on ia32-machines.

This SDK relies on Scratchbox, so i just downloaded and tried to install it. This works smoothly, they provide a shellscript, which downloads all needed components and feeds them to dpkg.

But, when i try to start Scratchbox i get

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1192: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!

after some g00gleing, i finally found the solution here: [Scratchbox-users] Re: scratchbox doesn't works any more.

and the answer is: The kernel needs VDSO. This option is in Linux-Kernel-menuconfig in the 'Processor type and features' submenu.

The help on that item shows:

Say N here if you are running a sufficiently recent glibc version (2.3.3 or later), to remove the high-mapped VDSO mapping and to exclusively use the randomized VDSO.

and so i switched it off. Ok, with on again now, lets find the next obstacle.
