[gentoo-hardened] relocation error because of missing __guard since upgrading to glibc-2.13

[Tóth Attila]

Some binaries are failing since the last glibc upgrade like this:
-
binaryname: relocation error: binaryname: symbol __guard, version
GLIBC_2.3.2 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
-
I'm actually surprised how well my machines doing despite this problem.

For those who have the same problem, you can search for affected binaries
using this command:
-
scanelf -qRs __guard /bin /lib /sbin /usr/bin /usr/lib /usr/sbin /opt
/var/www/
-

-
equery belongs path/binary
-
command can be used to query for which package the binary belongs to.

Can somebody update me on the nature of the problem? Is it an intended
movement to drop __guard? I know, that it's obsolete. I would suggest to
communicate this in an enews or whatever for all hardened users. Or I may
be the only one, who rolls the system without regular world recompiles?
