| 6 | <para>There is a documented bug with the atexit() function in glibc-2.2.3
|
|---|
| 7 | when it is compiled with gcc-2.95.3. This bug only occurs on some systems
|
|---|
| 8 | (primarily AMD, but not exclusively). This bug causes segmentation faults
|
|---|
| 9 | in fileutils-4.1 when it is compiled statically. This patch causes
|
|---|
| 10 | on_exit() to be called instead of atexit().</para>

|

| 12 | <para>Note that in some cases using this patch will result in not being
|
|---|
| 13 | able to compile this package at all, even when your system has an AMD CPU
|
|---|
| 14 | and has Glibc-2.2.3 (or higher) installed. If that's the case, you'll need
|
|---|
| 15 | to remove the fileutils-&fileutils-version; directory and unpack it again
|
|---|
| 16 | from the tarball before continuing. We believe this may be the case when
|
|---|
| 17 | your distribution has altered Glibc-2.2.3 somehow, but the exact details
|
|---|
| 18 | are unknown.</para>

|
|---|
| 22 | attempt this fix if you don't have Glibc-2.2.3 installed. It will more
|
|---|
| 23 | than likely result in all kinds of compilation problems.</para>

| 43 | not, then you need to re-do the installation with the patch if you didn't
|
|---|
| 44 | use it, or without the patch if you did use it.</para>
