if you rebuild make with the new glibc, it looks like it doesn't work under fakeroot anymore: samwise[20:40] make-3.79.1# ./make make: *** user_access: seteuid: Operation not permitted. Stop. building make in potato and running it with woody seems to work fine. any ideas? randolph -- Debian Developer <tausq@debian.org> http://www.TauSq.org/
