while we have not deprecated lt.old it would be better that we do not regress it otherwise if the patch to shared code is managable it should not be a big problem i would also suggest to build and regress some other architectures with nptl to have confidence in the patch > > Please let me know if you have any objects or suggestions. > > Thanks, > -Chris > > > > > > > ______________________________**_________________ > uClibc mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.busybox.net/**mailman/listinfo/uclibc<http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc> > _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
