The glibc-2.14 toolchain update is in [testing]. Here is a summary of the changes.
glibc-2.14-1 - major version release - add patch to fix libdl crash
Note:
The RPC implementation in libc is obsoleted. Old programs keep working but new programs cannot be linked with the routines in libc anymore. Programs in need of RPC functionality must be linked against TI-RPC. The TI-RPC implementation is IPv6 enabled and there are other benefits.
Visible changes of this change include (obviously) the inability to link programs using RPC functions without referencing the TI-RPC library and the removal of the RPC headers from the glibc headers.
This change results in build failures for the following [core] packages: FAIL: librpcsecgss FAIL: libtirpc FAIL: mkinitcpio-busybox FAIL: pam FAIL: rpcbind FAIL: xinetd I will look into these over the next couple of days. Also, some people are seeing segfaults in libresolv (__libc_res_nquery). So this will not be moving until the bug is fixed: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24615 . This is not an Arch specific issue... Allan
