This comment was directed at the glibc maintainers, sorry. (The option is actually called -mstackrealign.) > libc6:i386 is built without SSE2 support, and takes precedence over > libc6-i386, so that is how I've "solved" problem. > > Should be libc6-i386 named (after obsolete/virtual) libc6-i686 if it > requires SSE2 and new stack alignment? I think the proper fix would be to build glibc with -mstackrealign.
