Here goes the toolchain rebuild for glibc-2.13:
glibc-2.13-1
- major upstream release
- Fedora 14 uses a pre-release glibc from this branch so it should be
a fairly safe update...
linux-api-headers-2.6.37-1
- version bump
gcc-4.5.2-5
- just a rebuild (I will probably bump to a newer snapshot in the
coming weeks as lots of backports are moving onto that branch lately
with progress towards gcc-4.6)
binutils-2.21-3
- just a rebuild (not much of interest has landed on the 2.21 branch
since the last build)
valgrind-3.6.0-2
- patch and rebuild for glibc-2.13
- not particularly tested here so reports of success/failures would be
good...
Now for the fun part! Some x86_64 users (depending on their cpu) will
notice sound issues with mp3s of certain bitrates in flash when using
Adobe's pre-release x86_64 flash plugin. This is because somebody at
Adobe does not know to not use memcpy with source and destination
overlapping. I will not be disabling the optimisation that causes this
issue because it does result in significant speed increases in
memcpy/memmove and because the issue is in an unsupported, pre-release,
binary blob. For work arounds see:
