/* A fix for a glibc nscd linking bug, reported upstream already.*/ /* A fix for a glibc nscd linking bug, reported upstream already.*/
/* Currently this fix works only for i686; as it only affects
the building of glibc from a final nixpkgs stdenv, we don't care much
on whether it works or not. The patch does not affect building
from the bootstrap-tools gcc because it does not have libssp at all.
TODO: Link ssp to nscd dynamically, and set the proper rpath to
nscd, although linking dynamically will make this libc
dynamically linked with gcc's libssp, and gcc's libssp is dynamically
linked with stdenv.glibc's libc. This does not look very correct.
