Hi,
with gentoo 1.4 (gcc 3.2) I get the following error when trying to run vmware or
mplayer with realvideo codecs:
"avatar@rift incoming $ vmware
vmware: relocation error: vmware: undefined symbol: atexit"

"avatar@rift incoming $ mplayer /home/avatar/0106\ -\ Moaning\ Lisa.rm
.
.
.
Detected audio codec: [racook] afm:21 (RealAudio COOK)
Opening audio decoder: [real] RealAudio decoder
mplayer: relocation error: /usr/lib/real/cook.so.6.0: undefined symbol: atexit"

I did not have this problem with gentoo 1.3 (gcc 3.1 & 3.1.1). Are you sure you
want to release 1.4 so soon instead of 1.3??

heh there is no way 1.3 is going to ever be a real 'release' ...
its based off of gcc 3.1.x which is never going to be used again, and is not 
compatabile with the past or future

if you have glibc-*-r7 installed, emerge rsync and emerge -u glibc

let me know if this was the case, so i can close this bug.
