Ah OK, this is most current Rawhide. We were talking about FC2 and FC1.

But good to see that glibc is now working right (again!). See Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101261 for a
history...

glibc first did it right, then Mark G. Adams managed to talk Ulrich
Drepper into breaking it. I've reopened the bug and asked for reversal
of the change, which has been done, as you point out. Ulrich immediately
closed the bug again with Resolution RAWHIDE and "Fixed in" 2.3.3-8.

So I really do hope that we'll see a glibc update for FC1 and FC2
soon[tm].

FWIW, I've rebuilt glibc for RH9 and FC1 with a fix included. The
RH9 glibc installes fine, the FC1 gives the following error between
"sshd stop" and "sshd start":

sleep: relocation error: /lib/i686/librt.so.1: symbol
__pthread_clock_settime, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file
libpthread.so.0 with link time reference

I guess this has to do with prelink?

Does glibc require the usage of a specific gcc version for rebuilding?
