No, it was fixed in glibc: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenSpecificGlibc And, it seems that this change was made: http://cvs.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/SPECS/glibc/glibc.spec?r1=1.148&r2=1.149 But, this creates a separate glibc-xen package, which seems to be built with the correct options. http://cvs.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/SPECS/glibc/glibc.spec?r1=1.151&r2=1.152 This seems to apply this to the default glibc. But, I still have problems on my x86_64 running Xen (on 2007.0 at present), getting slowdowns if I use anything requiring OpenGL (invoking the code in the TLS'd nvidia library). If I remove the TLS'd nvidia library, X doesn't start :-(. > See this review : > http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2023037,00.asp Maybe the docs were behind (and maybe glibc-xen is required and available on CS4).
