Any reason to keep this open? Once util-linux is recompiled, the
FTBFS will be resolved automatically. Or is eglibc buggy by not being
backwards compatible, such that binaries compiled against the old
glibc won't run if eglibc is installed, requiring a rebuild from
source of the entire universe, and meaning that any old binaries from
say, Steam, will all break?
If so, I'd call this a huge, horrendous eglibc bug that should
disqualify it from being installed as the default C library until it
is fixed. Though Shalt Not Break Backwards Compatibility.
