[gentoo-dev] wrong glibc patch ?

[gentoo-dev] wrong glibc patch ?

[Rigo]

I just read this on the forums...Anybody any comments ?

Regards, Rigo


<SNIP>
I
installed a cvs snap of gcc-3.1.1 (about to be released - yeah
right!)

Build of glibc-2.2.5 will bomb unless the following patch is
applied. I stole this from the stable glibc-2.2.6 branch of
cvs. And for the record, this is slightly different to the
patch the gentoo guys are using. Their's is wrong.

I use the "-march=athlon-tbird" flag and never noticed this or any other
problem.
I had gcc-3.1.1 installed and recompiled glibc-2.2.5 without any major
issue.  I now have gcc-3.2 installed with glibc-2.2.5 and still have no
problem.  When I upgrade gcc I normally like to recompile all libraries
and most applications.

By the looks of this, this issue may only show when compiling with the
"i686" flag.
