Any ideas?
expected behavior for glibc static linking
Does that mean, the "static" mdadm binary is in fact NOT static but depends on libc.so ? In that case, an obvious fix is to remove the "static" USEFLAG from mdadm. Alternatively those function could be replaced in the upstream code I suppose ...
you're talking a problem specific to *glibc* we're not planning on patching glibc in any way to address this. feel free to complain upstream, but they've already made it clear they dont care.
