But glibc is part of the toolchain, and the toolchain has always been special. True, we do not have a version for uClibc-ng, but we do have some traction on the maintainer! ;-) So we know things are gonna be fixed soonish, or that we can grab a temporary backport, both very easily. Not so much for glibc in my experience... musl is another kind of thing, because it is (was?) moving relatively fast, and I am under the impression that the maintainers are somewhat amenable to some fixes. Not so much for glibc in my experience... So, I won't oppose the patch, not will I push for it... Yep, that is a very clear-cut position... ;-] Regards, Yann E.
