Thanks - like the rediff I found at clfs, and applies with bigger offsets. I think you're encouraging me to start on that slippery slope. But I've got backups.

Do you have any idea if this is something that affects sound devices for everyone, or only for some people ? Let's rephrase that - can people running LFS-svn with glibc-2.15, and who have installed alsa-utils, try running aplay or speaker-test and see if it segfaults, please ? Information on whether you are using 32 or 64 bits might also be useful (I'm on 64). Thanks. Also, anyone know why we dropped this ? I see that it is supposedly already in upstream (described as 'from upstream' for 2.14.1), and certainly I haven't seen any firefox crashes without it. Hmm, the glibc-2.14.1-fixes-1.patch also patched include/link.h and resolv/res_query.c : those parts also still apply. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
