Ok, thanks a lot for this information. Judging from that, dietlibc
should be fixed. But upstream has put the fix on hold temporarily. I am
not that sure either.
Now I have to thank the guy who has somehow managed to make the
autobuilder build the dietlibc package on mips/el. Thanks! Does that
mean that dietlibc doesn't need a fix anymore, or is it just a
workaround?
Regards, Gerrit.
