RE: Problem compiling glibc-2.3.2

[Joseph D. Wagner]

You're right.  The distribution is broken for newer versions of gcc, but you'll 
never get those lazy @$$ bastards who run glibc to care.  They told me to 
download the CVS version (read: experimental/beta) and that the problem will be 
fixed in the next release, whenever that is.

Attached is a uniform context diff patch that will correct the problem, which 
they stubbornly refuse to post on their website even though it would cut down 
on many emails like these.
