Risking to get a mail like this too or looking pretty silly I wonder what's wrong with his mail. nm shows a lot of symbols in libc that do not belong there according to policy. AFAIRC you should strip --strip-unneeded each shared library. But this has not been done with libc. > Fuck off and die. I have no idea what happened before but I strongly dislike a wording like this.
