older verisons of glibc would build dl-sysdep as shared-only and dl-support as static-only. alpha hooks in a cache variable via dl-auxv.h. newer versions of glibc build dl-sysdep as both shared and static which means we now have symbol duplication for static builds with dl-sysdep and dl-support. since dl-sysdep is both shared/static, there is no point in hooking dl-support anymore, so we can punt it. diff -durN glibc-2.10.1.orig/glibc-ports-2.10.1/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/dl-support.c glibc-2.10.1/glibc-ports-2.10.1/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/dl-support.c --- glibc-2.10.1.orig/glibc-ports-2.10.1/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/dl-support.c 2009-05-16 10:36:20.000000000 +0200 +++ glibc-2.10.1/glibc-ports-2.10.1/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/dl-support.c 2009-11-13 00:50:53.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,2 +1,1 @@ -#include "dl-auxv.h" #include
