Description Manuel Lauss 2015-03-14 12:43:11 UTC
This is just a heads up:

Most recent glibc development snapshot, more specifically commit
2ecccaede9097f867284d352a881d8f226ba4fb7
("stdlib/setenv.c (__add_to_environ): Dump core quickly if setenv (..., NULL, ...) is called.")
breaks gcc-config, and so far the emerge and gdb wrappers as well, in that they segfault almost immediately.

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=2ecccaede9097f867284d352a881d8f226ba4fb7

I'm marking this as minor since mainline gentoo isn't going to be affected by this for a long time.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Manuel Lauss 2015-03-20 15:47:02 UTC
The glibc developers changed their mind.
