Hi Bill -

Thanks for the glibc bug link.

Totally understand about people being out, not a problem. However, I'm
not very familiar with the development process for upstream glibc fixes
to make their way into an LTS release.

Do you have a rough estimate of the timeline for that landing in
something that we can pull in via apt-get update? Are we talking days,
weeks, months? My expectation right now is that we are going to continue
forward with issuing the MongoDB 3.4 GA on POWER Ubuntu 16.04, and
relnote this issue, probably stating that MongoDB 3.4 should not be run
in production on POWER Ubuntu 16.04 unless glibc has been upgraded to
version X or newer.

We might even add a server startup warning, if it will be possible for
us to detect at runtime that we are running with an affected glibc. I'd
imagine that might prove difficult if this comes in as an Ubuntu patch
to the existing libc version though. Thoughts on that?

Andrew
