Weird that it's not affecting Jan then, because it's definitely
something specific to newer glibc (or perhaps gcc, but it's not
immediately obvious how that would be the case). I'm on Slackware 
rather than Gentoo, running quite a bit of prerelease development 
builds (including gcc-4.3.3 and glibc-2.9 along with 2.6.28.7 kernel).
