The patch is clean enough that I'm able to just add it to the Debian glibc 2.1.94 source package. So I will build that overnight (hopefully) and upload it sometime soon. For the time being there is a tarball at ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/userspace/glibc-2.1.94-20001003.tar.gz But! Beware! It *will* break your system. Somehow, the versions of a bunch of symbols in libm.so.6 reverted to GLIBC_2.0 from GLIBC_2.2 (don't ask me how this happened, math/Versions is still exactly the same... I think our 2.1.92 had a bug in the script that generates the version maps) and as a result, anything that links with libm will not work. This includes fun things like perl, awk, some parts of shellutils, etc. etc. Sorry about this, but I guess we have no choice, our old libm.so was broken. I'm rebuilding perl, shellutils, and awk and expect to have new packages on pehc real soon now. (perl's version will be 5.005.03-7.2, shellutils and awk will be similarly bumped) -- dhd@linuxcare.com, http://www.linuxcare.com/ Linuxcare. Support for the revolution.
