26 i know it's asking a lot of you, but you should refrain from making claims
27 that not only do you obviously have no idea about but can also be trivially
28 refuted. i run glibc versions starting before i commit them to the tree
29 and build/test packages against it constantly. this box has built hundreds
30 of packages and if you look at the git tree, i fixed a number of packages
31 before anyone even saw the breakage.
