[0.2] Install an armv7 glibc and re-run the benchmark using dhrystone
===[0.2] Install an armv7 glibc and re-run the benchmark using dhrystone===
In order for a successful glibc armv7 build for armv7, the file ''/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc'' needs edit to use armv7 build options. Using mock; a downloaded glibc source can be rebuilt for a specific CPU architecture. Once finished, the binaries can then be installed locally to the system OR a local yum repository can be created enabling the use of yum.
'''Test Result:'''
The Dhrystone (DMIPS)results never changed. The benchmark brought the same, exact number of DMIPS. Although Dhrystone does make use of C library functions and is assumed that the glibc would have effects on the program; the results proved that upgrading the glibc did not bring what's expected.
