In fact, it applied to ALL the sonames from glibc, which is
horribly messy. I tried extracting a binary rpm for fedora-10
preview, to see what the files were called, but failed miserably.
Looking at both their srpm and debian's patches, I'm unconvinced
that the installed files there get called anything other than
glibc-2.8 etc.
Maybe my memory was wrong, and the distro identification only
appears in the gcc version.
I took a look at OpenSuse - they add CVSDATE, set it from the date
of the changelog, and also add the build host (which presumably
picks up some Suse identification) and conditionally add something
about the configure options.
This is revised to just show _which_ weekly snapshot we used
(I assume they'll all be '2.8' for the foreseeable future). The
following patch achieves this (CVSDATE is transformed without any
extra work):
