So from what I'm seeing this seems more like a glibc 2.6.1 + gcc 4.2.0
compiler issue since I rebuild all my system including these packages
with the current gcc in test grimoire just fine.

I'm not seeing very many patches that needed to be applied, they may
to make gcc 4.2.0 compile with glibc 2.6.1 but gcc in test worked fine
for most things. I had to patch 4 or 5 spells with the same patch (not
line by line, but conceptually) and that was it. I don't think that's
very patch happy...

Unless others have submitted patches that I haven't picked up on
yet... I haven't seen any in the commit logs so far.

Thanks,
