[gentoo-user] Symlinked directories and rsync

I've RTFM'd, and it looks like there is no way to get rsync to copy over symlinked directories as symlinks. E.g. I build Pale Moon browser from source for 3 machines at home. I prefer downloading the source once and symlinking to it from 3 different working directories. I also have a personal

[gentoo-user] downgrading glibc

I hava a build problem upgrading Mythtv to 0.28.1-r1 [1] on an ~amd64 system. The problem is related to a glibc API change [2] introduced in glibc-2.24 and still present in glibc-2.25. So I'm thinking to try the build with an older glibc version. Downgrading the system to glibc to 2.23-r3 means
