Description Jose Luis Rivero (yoswink) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-11 01:12:11 UTC 
Glibc 2.7 doesn't compile on alpha complaining about:

undefined reference to `PTR_MANGLE'
undefined reference to `PTR_DEMANGLE'

The following patch seems to solve this problem and make glibc compile again in alpha. It was tested against glibc-2.7.

The bug is reported upstream:
