No, I did not talk to Ben.
IMHO, there are two reasons not to apply this dpatch. In first, -opt
is not provided currently. And second, if a user designates
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and if /etc/ld.so.hwcap is not existed, then hwcap is
disabled. The hwcap pathes are not included to search.
BTW, why is this patch so important? Can we upgrade smoothly without
this patch? Are there another way to be able to upgrade without it?
Please enlighten me...
