 Thanks for that.  Normally, I'm a believer in "if you update the
toolchain, rebuild the system", but for patches like these and the
same glibc version, I've given this a try.  Seems to have worked,
although when I rebooted afterwards '/' couldn't be unmounted and
was remounted r/o.  ISTR I often see that in system builds, and
anyway, that's what journalling is for.

ĸen, who also thinks he has everything backed up, just in case.
