Description Joseph Myers 2012-05-23 13:16:11 UTC
Various miscellaneous binaries installed with glibc use errno at the GLIBC_PRIVATE symbol version; nscd also uses h_errno from GLIBC_PRIVATE.  These binaries should only use GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols where there is a specific reason for them to be tied closely to glibc internals, not through an accident of include/errno.h causing the private errno to be used.

Fixed in 2.18.
