I'm attempting to build Version 8.2.5 on a Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-43-generic i686) system.
I've followed the instructions to compile the code found on this website but I get the following errors:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-static, --enable-shared

From the research I've done, it appears that the problem may be related to the following comment I found in the glob.c file:
/* Comment out all this code if we are using the GNU C Library, and are not
actually compiling the library itself. This code is part of the GNU C
Library, but also included in many other GNU distributions. Compiling
and linking in this code is a waste when using the GNU C library
(especially if it is a shared library). Rather than having every GNU
program understand `configure --with-gnu-libc' and omit the object files,
it is simpler to just do this in the source for each such file. */
If I should be using the glob function from the GNU C Library instead of compiling glob.c, how would I make that happen?
Or if I have to compile the glob.c file, how would I reconcile the reference to the __alloca function?
The command I used to compile was:
PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm CUSTOM_VERSION="JM_8.2.5" make image
I've also attached my logs for your inspection:
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
