again GPREL16 problem on alpha - this time in resolv

[Andrija Pantovic]

Hello,

I am trying to build the latest glibc cvs on my alpha running Fedora Core 2 
and I get the following error:

make[2]: Entering directory 
`/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/glibc-2.3.3-200408100002/linuxthreads'
ar:

The problem seems to be related to the latest patch applied on resolv 
introducing quite few new things. I already needed to apply patch (attached) 
for excluding usage of atomic_increment on alpha (could be it need to be 
excluded on some other 64 bit platforms as well - as far as I can see 
atomic_increment seems to be implemented on x86_64 only)

Attached output of readelf -Wa elf/ld.so.
GNU ld version 2.15.90.0.3 20040415
gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)

Any idea ?
