We use glibc snapshots for a long time, and every now and then it's time to
update. The last stable glibc release was unusable, but the snapshot from
20040628 seems to be quite fine.

I just did some experimenting, and tested a new snapshot. And it took me
quite
some hours to find out that this is a bad one:

glib snapshot 20041101 does break things!

That version builds and works fine. No problems noticeable.
BUT: after rebuilding bash commands like "ls" do hang or segfault.

I don't know what exactely happened, but it took me allready hours to find
out
the above. ( rebuild A, rebuild B, and then C won't work )
I posted this so not everybody else who is insane enough to test other glibc
snapshots has to suffer the same.

Worf
