Guys: I'd like to re-visit this old discussion thread. Would it be possible now to dynamically link against distro supplied apr, expact and confuse? It sounds like people have already been doing that without huge issues so perhaps we can make the official change in the code repository? Thanks, Bernard

To this end where possible I've changed the build in the debian packages to dynamically link against the distribution's libraries. To this end my 3.0.1 gmetad packages dynamically link agains the distro's apr and expat (but not confuse AFAICS, I suspect that's a bug). It all seems to work ok, and there are a few people out there using my packages (it can't go into debian till the glibc code problem is resolved).
