This change has been associated with a crash in the Nvidia drivers. It
seems that if glibc is built with this, the Nvidia driver is no longer
able to find the right place to patch in _dl_debug_update:
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2357062#c5>
<https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/slackware64-current-multilib-after-update-to-glibc-2-39-32-bit-glx-programs-segfault/281769/3>
Not sure if there's anything we can do about this.
Thanks,
Florian
