No. But I'm thinking about just disabling the error message for this release, since yours is the second report of a problem. Opinions: - Disable the message entirely - Print the message only under 2.6 kernels when LD_ASSUME_KERNEL was not used and TLS would have been used but was disabled for this reason. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
