Re: glibc 2.12.1 will not compile on Ubuntu 10.10


This problem was reported-- and a patch created-- back in May 2008
(see http://old.nabble.com/-RFC-PATCH--glibc-doesn%27t-build-with-%22gcc--march%3Di686%22-td17442608.html).

2.12.1's source tarball is timestamped 03-Aug-2010.

Why was this bug still in the current source tree, 2 years and 3
months after it was made public?

Why hasn't the patch been integrated into the current source tree as
of now, 2 years and 5 months after it was made public?
