Does anybody know what this message in dmesg is about? Was syslog-ng compiled for i686?

Very out-of-date libcap, not only syslog-ng, also proftpd, vsftpd, pulseaudio, ntpd, virtualbox, etc, etc...
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/libcap/ (for linux 2.4)
Need to have libcap2 package for kernel 2.6 in Arch Linux http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/
I was confused about this as libcap is in [extra] so how can it make problems with a package in [core]? So going from this comment in the bug report about libcap (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11917#comment41046) I get...
readelf -s /usr/sbin/syslog-ng | grep cap 33: 00000000 0 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND capset@GLIBC_2.1 (4) 177: 00000000 0 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND capget@GLIBC_2.1 (4) 473: 08228bd8 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 26 OPENSSL_ia32cap_P
Looks like libcap is a soft dep there. How? Then rebuild in clean chroot:
readelf -s syslog-ng | grep cap 467: 08221b18 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 26 OPENSSL_ia32cap_P
And then the dmesg warning goes away... So, the lesson to learn is to _always build in a clean chroot_! Allan
