Thank you for taking the time to read my report. I'll definitely  give
your script a try.

I read your other replies too, very valuable advice. The samba and
terminal issue is fixed, I've patched them and sent those patches to
::gentoo, maybe I've worded it better (sorry non native english
speaker). The reason for taking patches from ::musl or already patching
packages present in ::musl is due to a part of this year's GSoC idea is
to kill ::musl completely, I have seen the patches at ::musl for samba
and only brought in the netdb patch from there, still lot of other
things remaining.

Your suggestion for the gnome-terminal patch seems more clean and "good
practice" than mine, I just redefined `W_EXITCODE` in my patch. I'll
update that in my patch. I'll have a word with my mentor sam_ and
dilfridge about this.


The librsvg thing has been bugging me and sam_ for some time now. The
most weird thing is, it's working on other distro's like alpine and void
while we don't why it's working. Thanks to leio, I tried debugging it
but failed and after that filed a issue upstream. I'll try again using
increased stack size, as the librsvg maintainer suggested and see where
things goes, or atleast that's the plan for next week.

Reading your reply, you must be the creator of bluedragon project, if
I'm not mistaken.


Thanks again for the valuable advice.
