upstream glibc has dropped support for older Linux kernels. your choices: - upgrade your kernel - switch to a different C library - stick with glibc-2.19 for a while
be warned though there are no plans atm to backport things to glibc-2.19. this includes security fixes, but more importantly as time moves on, making newer gcc versions sanely compile glibc. we've kept older glibc versions around to be nice, and on a part time basis for cross-compiling, but none of those are given priority. i.e. fixes come as people feel like doing them. certainly once glibc-2.20+ goes stable, there is no expectation let alone requirement that packages in the tree be kept working with older glibc versions. the maintenance cost there is unreasonable. i guess if you're stuck on old crap, now would be a good time to start preparing to unstick your crap. glibc-2.20 will most likely be in ~arch in the next 6 months. -mike
