Rik is concerned to get a glibc version which allows him to test the improvements. That's really not a big problem. We laready have a patch for this and can provide appropriate RPMs easily. I don't want to set a precedence for adding glibc support for phantom features. So, I would not add support to the official glibc anyway until there is a fixed implementation which then also means a fixed ABI. So, Andrew, applying the patch won't do any good. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
