Re: glibc patch for TLS?

[Michael Long <nikarul@gmail.com>]

I pulled out the glibc-xen-tls.patch file and applied it to Gentoo's
glibc-2.3.5.  It compiled and installed, but when I reboot into Xen, I
still get the emulation warning.  Should it autodetect that the patch
is there, or is there something I need to do to disable the check in
Xen in order to test the patch?
