There's a reason Red Hat put together this patch. Static binaries can hang around for a very long time... I think that while this patch works we should keep it. It may not be that long, because more uses of the construct will crop up in glibc eventually. [Recall that the patch fixes two compatibility problems: __ctype_b not available for linking, and the _way_ in which it is unavailable crashing static binaries.] -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
