If I understand right, you're looking for a TLS-enabled version of glibc. Drepper originally had this planned for 2.3, but it wasn't ready in time so has been disabled by default. If this is really important to you, you could take the upstream source and configure it with --enable-tls and work directly with them on bugs. This isn't a supported config, so you should expect to have to do some hacking to get it to work with very little support from anyone Sorry I don't have better news for you. -- learning from failures is nice in theory... but in practice, it sucks :) - Wolfgang Jaehrling -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
