I'm interested in taking it. It looks like Camm Maguire is the

maintainer. He's got a massive patch for Debian, which appears to
address at least some of the problems we are having in Fedora. I
tried an initial build, but ran into a rather strange problem. Try to
compile this:
int main() {
#include <unistd.h>
return 0;
}
I can compile it with -O. I can compile it with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
But I cannot compile it with -O -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE. GCC spews a whole
bunch of errors about formerly extern functions now declared as
static. Is that a glibc header bug? It is preventing GCL's sbrk
randomization code from compiling.
If we can get that worked out, I would like to take GCL.
This is now
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469866 and I
have a workaround for it. I'll take GCL.
