so basically, if it works with bash, and latest vanilla binutils/glibc/gcc, the change probably won't be considered ? seems crazy they're not merged when even fedora applies it. but i guess if you can't get it in, then there's not much point in pushing the topic further. in terms of releases, could we get the patches renamed+compressed ? https://fedorahosted.org/releases/e/l/elfutils/0.152/ elfutils-portability.patch -> elfutils-0.152-portability.patch.bz2 elfutils-robustify.patch -> elfutils-0.152-robustify.patch.bz2 unversioned files are a pain to mirror, and ASCII files like to get mangled (newlines) by some servers. and they'd be much smaller :). -mike
