OK, after some tests, I can confirm that the patched libc,
independent of the kernel, fixes the test_stack program.
@Debian eglibc maintainers: So this means that yes, please
include the patch when your policy permits (it’s fine if it
is not possible until after the wheezy release and unfreeze,
I’ll carry a patched version until then).
@boehm-gc people: I think you need to not do anything. Note
that I could not test master as autoreconf didn’t want to
work for me, but Ivan, if you could private-mail me a tarball
of master where I just need to run ./configure && make check,
I will gladly do that.
@Debian-68k people: this tests the eglibc patch and validates
that we indeed want it; as for the kernel patch, the test has
not yet compiled far enough to see. I’m running the rebuilt
kernel already (the atari flavour is built early enough ☺),
and it at least shows no regressions.
