Another day, another glibc...

This adjusts the static linking fix. The one previously used is a more correct fix but appears incomplete.  I have replaced this by a hack fix that Fedora uses.

I will leave this in [testing] a while.  My concern is the previous patch apparently fixed a bunch of segfault bugs in glibc and I am hoping that these do not get reintroduced.

If only upstream made a proper fix for this.  Saying upstream is doing not much about this bug would imply that they are doing something...

Thomas not know bug. Computer still boot. Thomas happy. Hurray! Thomas sign off.

Segfault detected. Happens with bauerbill's AUR component. I'll just pastebin the backtrace.

Is this new and does downgrading glibc to the version in [core] fix it?

Sorry, should have mentioned that, does not happen with glibc from [core] (2.12.1-3)
