Comment #6 From  Jakub Jelinek (jakub@redhat.com)  2009-06-11 16:40:37 EDT

Unfortunately no, this can't be backported.  The symbol is exported as
@@GLIBC_2.11 symbol, F11 has only glibc 2.10.  If we add a single
GLIBC_2.11 symbol, we'd have to add them all, which means at least wait
until glibc 2.11 is released (in 4-5 months approximately).

-Eric
