sadly this hack is still needed, but the comments in the patch could do with a 
real explanation.  might i suggest stealing the documentation i put into 
1130_all_glibc-2.4-undefine-__i686.patch.

as long as drepper remains stupid wrt static, this will be needed.

i'd like to think this isnt needed at all for 2.4+ since a fix was supposed to 
be committed to the 2.3 branch+

i dont think this was ever posted upstream.  it should be.

no comment

afaik, this is no longer needed either.  i had it in Gentoo for the 2.3.x 
series, but dropped it for 2.4 and never saw a complaint.  Debian uses it 
still in glibc-2.7, but dont know if that's just because they carried the 
baggage simply because it applied.

obviously will never be mainlined and so long as crosstool supports building 
on systems with case-insensitive filesystems, this will be needed.
