[gentoo-dev] bug in glibc?

Hi!

In /usr/include/bits/string2.h there is a ?bug? that causes a lot of
warnings. This is not in the same file in Debian (have they patched
it?)

This patch fixes the problem:

Hi (again)!

After googling a little I found that this is a known bug in gcc (which
is fixed in gcc 2.96). Debian however seems to have made a little work
around to fix this.

Yeah, since they're just warnings I am pretty sure achim decided to hold out for gcc to get fixed.
