looks like this has been fixed upstream already in the same way:
revision 1.68
date: 2006-03-27 02:34:48 -0500;  author: meyering;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -1
(uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's use of strtod.
Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.

added that patch to our 5.96 patchset

Excellent, though it doesn't seem to be present in the 5.96 patchset:

patch $ grep -r POW_LIB .
./selinux/001_all_coreutils-selinux.patch: sort_LDADD = $(LDADD) $(POW_LIB)

What's the deal SpanKY? We're at coreutils-5.97 and this patch is still nowhere to be found in Portage nor has it been handled upstream.

[Comment 5 Arcanux 2006-06-26 21:46:49 UTC]

Nevermind, it's in the separate patch tarball. :)
