It looks as though this patch is a bit Linux-specific (or specific to some version of glibc which has only been tested on
Linux).
Can we wait until glibc2 settles down, or provide this as an add-on patch rather than merging it into the main tree? I hate
adding machine-specific code into otherwise general code...
Another possibility would be to add a new #define variable like HAVE_FUNNY_LIBRARY in config.h or in linux.h so we can
possibly use this with other ports if necessary in the future.
I'm planning on installing RH5.0 sometime soon (I have a clean disk so can fall back to RH4.2). I'm sure I'll sound more
sympathetic by then :)
