Package: libc6 Version: 2.11.3-2 Severity: important Tags: squeeze The "eglibc" source (eglibc_2.11.3-2.diff.gz eglibc_2.11.3-2.dsc eglibc_2.11.3.orig.tar.gz) of the "libc6*.deb" packages contains a patch which fixes a well known bug of older releases of the GNUC-Library resulting in SIGSEGV on software which makes use of static tls. The can be found in ".../debian/patches/any/cvs-dlopen-tls.diff". For some reasons the patch has not been pushed onto the quilt stack. So when building the "libc6*.deb" packages from source the patch is left out rendering any software which make use of statis tls (e.g. qt-4.8.x) useless (generating SIGSEGV). When rebuilding the "libc6*.deb" packages with the mentioned patch included all seems to be o.k. so far. Now I'm wondering if the patch has been omitted by intention or if the omission is simply a bug, and I'm wondering if the patch could be included officially?
