While it actually would be interesting to see some downgrade path even for glibc, > [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354395 what do you think of working around the memcpy troubles with glibc-2.13 by simply redirecting memcpy to memmove within glibc, either unconditionally or optional/temporary (via USE-flag?) until everyone uses memmove where necessary? /haubi/ -- Michael Haubenwallner Gentoo on a different level
