Description Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2009-08-20 14:00:15 UTC 
-------- 8< -------- 8< --------
configure: error: Buggy GNU/libc (version 2.5 - 2.7) present. VLC would crash; there is no viable work-around for this. Check with your distribution vendor on how to update the glibc run-time.
-------- 8< -------- 8< --------

I have sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1 installed.
Do we need blockers for this?

Reproducible: Always

should depend on >=glibc-2.8 ?

No traces of glibc in

vlc-0.9.10.ebuild,v 1.4 2009/08/09 16:48:28 armin76

here.

As an alternative to a blocker, okay, got it.
Comment 4 Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2009-08-21 10:12:17 UTC 
Actually this is an old issue, iirc, some old glibc gettext functions were not thread safe/reentrant and caused vlc to crash.
Added a dep with elibc_glibc useflag.
Thanks for the report.
