Hi glibc developer,s
Here's a bug report against 2.1.3 that is also valid for 2.2.3.
What should be done?
Andreas

We can nothing do without breaking all RPC applications on Alpha.
This mistake was done at the very first Alpha port.
Even fixing it in glibc with a new symbol version for backward
compatibility breaks a lot of old programs.

This is unfortunate. WIBNI we could fix that for IA64 and for all other
future 64 bit targets?
