Bugzilla Bug 29947

When I compile root-3.03.04-r2 the compile aborts on my system while attempting
to compile the 'rootd' component of the package.

Steps to Reproduce: heres my emerge info
hstabena@hansbox hstabena $ emerge info
Portage 2.0.49-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.22-pre7-aa1)

and then do a 'emerge root'

Actual results: 
heres what it looks like:
hstabena@hansbox # emerge root

Expected Results: the package compiles correctly

Build date and platform: 09/29/03 on Gentoo Linux 1.4

Additional information: none.

Created an attachment (id=18760) [edit]
patch to fix.

This is an ugly workaround, but will allow compilation on recent gentoo
machines - it seems to be a problem in recent (~6-9 month old) glibc's. Fixing
this is really an upstream problem, if I'm right, so I'll report it to them.

does root-3.05.04.ebuild compile for you?

Heinrich: yes, it does.

i marked it stable then.
