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...
