There has not been any new messages in this thread since October. How do you expect anyone to see the "I'm working on the solution" part? Can you post a status update on #572869?

Given some time passed and no other messages from you came, I decided to give it a go and I also come up with fixes which I also did not share yet, at least for the machines I have access to.

However, I trust that this last upstream release is used in Fedora for POWER machines and in Gentoo to some less extent. If it really is a problem, we can downgrade the package in Sid. > Congratulations, No need to get sarcastic there. By the tone at the beginning your mail, I really understood you are pissed off.
