glibc 2.3.2, is it safe?

I remember a warning that nvidia drivers didn't work with pre versions of glibc 2.3.2. Does that warning still apply to glibc 2.3.2 release?

Thanks in advance,
Norberto

works for me .. but if you try it, don't give up and recompile the old one because I already saw some problems with that

Hmmmm.... I just emerged it. Do any of you noticed a speed improvement? My system feels more responsive ... And that's good :-)

be warned, due to a change in the handling of errno, glibc-2.3.2 breaks wine among other things.

Oh oh.... Well, that's fine with me: I don't 'drink' wine. Beer, if it is free, it's much better :lol:

Seriously, thanks for the advice. So far, nothing is broken.

Best regards,

I have a number of bugs due to glibc-2.3.2,

All the errno ones; All seem fixed now except for <vmware-4beta and any wine(x).

Also a strange bug causes ld from binutils to fail while compiling some silly link lines.

Those are the only known issues after a few weeks of testing. You decide ...

could it be a glibc problem ?

nvidia drivers with 1gb crash.. with 512mb it works...

512 mb ? 1Gb ? ramm ?
emerge memtest86

and test your ramm
broken ramm causes allot of strange and unpredictable errors

if you use nptl and glibc 2.3.2 it CLEARLY states a warning that it will not work with the nVidia GLX driver.

What does the ntpl flag do? I can't find it in the flag.desc (or however that file is named)
