Bug 272505 – dev-libs/mpatrol: fails to build with glibc-2.10

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2009-06-03 22:18:44 UTC]

There are a few changes in glibc-2.10 that might make your software fail to build with it, please refer to my blog post [1] if you're not sure what the problem is.

And no I don't usually provide emerge --info with these bugs because they are caused by glibc-2.10!

Thanks, Diego

that's a vote for "Keep" in case you were wondering ;)

Someone with a glibc-2.10 host should apply this, *nudge*

Thanks for the patch, tested and applied to dev-libs/mpatrol-1.4.8-r2
