But changes to glibc usually breaks stuff and requires recompiling. |
| 24 |
Remember what happened when glibc 2.3.4.20041102 was marked stable? A |
| 25 |
lot of people got crashes and problems and needed to recompile or even |
| 26 |
reinstall. The switch to NPTL only in glibc 2.4 will cause this kind of |
| 27 |
problems too. So perhaps these patches could be added to the glibc 2.4 |
| 28 |
snapshots (2.3.5.20050421 and 2.3.5.20050722) and 2.4 when it's released |
| 29 |
(if they are still relevant by then) because people will have to |
| 30 |
recompile then anyway. But a USE-flag is a good idea if they are added |
| 31 |
to a stable version! |
