I would like to know if the gentoo folks would consider fixing the

There is some risk in applying the patch as rebuilding a library
package may break other
packages which depend on the library. This could break critical tools
such as binutils and
gcc. In which case, some manual intervention may be needed. However,
the transition
on Debian went fairly smoothly. As a result, we no longer have the
external symbol
__gmon_start exposed and we have correct library dependencies.
The issues with _init referred to in the BZ report are fixed. It is
now PIC; and PIE applications
work on hppa thanks to Alan Modra.
Helge: we need to add PIE load address to the kernel TODO list if it's
not already there.
Although not ideal, we could keep the __gmon_start__ patch in Debian.
The other approach is to install the __gmon_start__ patch and let gentoo
revert it. I'm starting
to think this is best.
