The glibc-2.14 toolchain update is in [testing]. Here is a summary of
the changes.
glibc-2.14-1
- major version release
- add patch to fix libdl crash
Note:
The RPC implementation in libc is obsoleted. Old programs keep working
but new programs cannot be linked with the routines in libc anymore.
Programs in need of RPC functionality must be linked against TI-RPC.
The TI-RPC implementation is IPv6 enabled and there are other benefits.
Visible changes of this change include (obviously) the inability to link
programs using RPC functions without referencing the TI-RPC library and
the removal of the RPC headers from the glibc headers.
This change results in build failures for the following [core] packages:
FAIL: librpcsecgss
FAIL: libtirpc
FAIL: mkinitcpio-busybox
FAIL: pam
FAIL: rpcbind
FAIL: xinetd
I will look into these over the next couple of days.
Also, some people are seeing segfaults in libresolv (__libc_res_nquery).
So this will not be moving until the bug is fixed:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24615 . This is not an Arch specific
issue...
