Comment 2 Peter Alfredsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-22 18:01:44 UTC
Patch in URL, please test.

Fedora people tend to call everything related to glibc-2.10 gcc-4.4 bugs
because they switched both at around the same time.
Comment 3 Conrad Kostecki gentoo-dev 2009-06-28 16:10:17 UTC
Seems to work for me.

Works for me, plus the patch looks like the right way of doing things (not using cast).
Comment 5 Evan Teran 2009-08-09 02:17:36 UTC
patch seems good here. Any chance, this will get applied to tree soon?
Comment 6 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-09 15:09:35 UTC
fixed, thanks
Comment 7 Juergen Rose 2009-09-30 06:05:03 UTC
