This isn't related to the kernel though, it is a dependency within the world
between libraries and binaries. Do you have those patches somewhere where I
can look at them. I want to start testing them, because it _may_ (I'm only
saying "may" right now) be better to fix this before 4.0 so that we don't have
4 million using cvsup to upgrade to 4.0 (despite all the warnings about 4.0
being only for early adopters) and then running into this and flooding
-questions. I'd like to prevent a FAQ rather than create one, if you know
what I mean.
