It's a tricky one to fix.  I sent a fix to EGLIBC a month ago, but
then found the same problem exists in binutils, gcc, and gdb and
pretty much anything else sourceware based. See:
 http://www.eglibc.org/archives/patches/msg01014.html

A work-around is to change the development hg pkgversion format to
something without an @.  I quite like the Debian style:
1.1.13+hg12345.
