Initial Package Version: 2.3.3
Origin: http://dev.gentoo.org/~solar/glibc-2.3.3-got-fix.diff
Description: This is a bugfix:
"GOTOFF during linking seems to fail to recognize where main() is because it is
not visible in the object linked which might not be really legal C but it
apparently works anyway."
This bug shows up in bind9's testsuite.
