Ok, so the current state of things now is that the libffi build has been "untagged", which basically means that while the build is now unused, but the Fedora package git is a time bomb for whoever goes to work on it next unless we also revert the changes there. And the longer we let the upstream release stand, it's more likely various distributions and operating systems consume it and we end up with different ABIs in the wild. Anthony, any opinions on this patch? I really think the cost to libffi for keeping the debug-only symbols as stubs is tiny relative to the cost of bumping the ABI. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
