By the way, in principle that might be a nice commit to cherry-pick. Not sure how to do it safely, though --- backing out the amd64 optimization would hide important bugs that can cause suffering later, while applying upstream's fix would mean that apps linked against libc would use new ABI. I guess reverting glibc-2.13~215 (Improve 64bit memcpy/memmove for Atom, Core 2 and Core i7, 2010-06-30) in sid (but not experimental) and encouraging people to test libc6/experimental might be a good way. Do you know how soon upstream's planning to release 2.14? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
