But good to see that glibc is now working right (again!). See Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101261 for a history... glibc first did it right, then Mark G. Adams managed to talk Ulrich Drepper into breaking it. I've reopened the bug and asked for reversal of the change, which has been done, as you point out. Ulrich immediately closed the bug again with Resolution RAWHIDE and "Fixed in" 2.3.3-8. So I really do hope that we'll see a glibc update for FC1 and FC2 soon[tm]. FWIW, I've rebuilt glibc for RH9 and FC1 with a fix included. The RH9 glibc installes fine, the FC1 gives the following error between "sshd stop" and "sshd start": sleep: relocation error: /lib/i686/librt.so.1: symbol __pthread_clock_settime, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libpthread.so.0 with link time reference I guess this has to do with prelink? Does glibc require the usage of a specific gcc version for rebuilding? Best regards, Daniel
