./nix-locale-archive.patch
/* A fix for a glibc nscd linking bug, reported upstream already.*/
+ /* Currently this fix works only for i686; as it only affects
+ the building of glibc from a final nixpkgs stdenv, we don't care much
+ on whether it works or not. The patch does not affect building
+ from the bootstrap-tools gcc because it does not have libssp at all.
+ TODO: Link ssp to nscd dynamically, and set the proper rpath to
+ nscd, although linking dynamically will make this libc
+ dynamically linked with gcc's libssp, and gcc's libssp is dynamically
+ linked with stdenv.glibc's libc. This does not look very correct.
