    Sort objects before relocations

Comment 1 Joseph Myers 2012-06-27 22:37:59 UTC

Please provide a tested backport patch and describe how it was tested (as per the recent discussion of release branch processes on libc-alpha).

Comment 2 Allan McRae 2012-06-28 04:17:22 UTC

The commit (http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=6ee65ed6ddbf04402fad0bec6aa9c73b9d982ae4) applies to the glibc-2.15 branch without conflict (excluding ChangeLog and NEWS files...) and provides test-cases to verify it works.

This patch is widely tested by Linux distributions.
