Wireless/wpa_supplicant/dhcpcd fails after glibc 2.6

I've been running w/wireless networking for some time with little/no issue. That changed after an emerge world last evening. glibc-2.6 was pulled in (I did perform a toolchain rebuild). Now wpa_supplicant appears to connect, but dhcpcd doesn't seem to launch, thus blocking all net dependent services (including dnsmasq which I use for DNS).

Running dhcpcd manually does get an IP address (instantly), so it something between the connection in wpa_supplicant and the net scripts launching dhcpcd. Anyone running into this?

Kernel 2.6.22 (gentoo-sources), and running baselayout-2

same here. I'm using dhclient though- and never had the setup running before, but my girlfriend did and I copied her config.

I've moved this to a bug (as it appears to be one).
