Roland Mainz <[email protected]> has asked for approval_X11R6.8.x: Bug 1843: Link stage of libOSMesa.so.4.0 fails every couple of months with "too many symbols require `small' PIC references" https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1843 Attachment 1301: Patch for 2004-11-12-trunk https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=1301&action=edit ------- Additional Comments from Roland Mainz <[email protected]> Requesting approval for X11R6.8.x-branch. I know that the nomination period for normal patches is over but this issue permanently harasses the developers - it's having a habit of lying low, like a rake in the grass and waiting there to hit you at moments when you really don't expect it. I'd like to see this bug dead dead dead... :) Risk of the patch: It's Solaris/SPARC only (=platform-specific patch) and deploys the well-known workaround to all relevant Imakefiles instead of using it only in an on-demand basis.
