It's your favorite debian developer again. :) Your glibc "chown" hack has one minor problem: Old libraries which reference "chown@@GLIBC_2.1" won't link (compile time) with the new libc. (The load-time linking works fine.)
This probably isn't too give us _too_ much trouble, but the following will have to be recompiled: libguile.so.3 libguile.so.4.0.0 libpwdb.so.0.54 librpm.so.1.0 libtck8.0.so.1 On the affected libraries, objdump -T will include: 0000000000000000 DF *UND* 00000000000000a4 GLIBC_2.1 chown Note that the current versions of the libraries will work with the new glibc, but you won't be able to build new programs using both the current versions of the above libraries and the new glibc.
