Some additional details jeremy provided: Essentially, the result is that backtraces in gdb won't (necessarily) work and that any app which calls backtrace() is likely to segfault. There are a few other potential ways that things can go wrong, but suffice to say that, yes, binary packages built in the window will need to be rebuilt :-/ > So only those packages build in the above timeframe need another rebuild > in devel.

The current plan is: - do another mass rebuild for all those packages that might be affected. That means: all arch packages that were build from Sept. 8 until Sept. 26 -/+ some hours for safety - let a script ( https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-July/msg00777.html ?) increase release, commit, tag and queue the build of all effected packages. Someone from FESCo (probably c4chris) will handle that. - we start on Wednesdays evening (CEST) - we hereby encourage maintainers to queue the rebuilds of their stuff of their own before Wednesdays evening Sorry for the trouble.
