[14:08] <deejoe> anybody have a bead on the hackedbox bug?
[15:56] <CrackMonkey> deejoe: inkblot is working on it, but it's slow
		going
[15:58] <@inkblot> WHAT BUG
[15:59] <CrackMonkey> the bug that hackedbox uses the wrong libstdc++
[16:00] <@inkblot> well, first of all,
[16:00] <@inkblot> it's not a problem with hackedbox
[16:03] <@inkblot> we just need a known-good build environment
[16:03] <@inkblot> and the set of known-good build environments is
		currently very very small
[16:03] <CrackMonkey> we can build in the chroot
[16:06] <CrackMonkey> proposal: NEW UPSTREAM VERSION
[16:07] <@inkblot> on the proposal to rev glibc (please respond "ja"
		or "nee"):
[16:08] <@inkblot> does this mean we'll also need to rev gcc?
[16:08] <@psykoyiko> the chroot has the same version of libstdc++ as
		gargoyle
[16:08] <@inkblot> ja
[16:08] <CrackMonkey> ja

The fallout from my development toward bottled building is that it's
not a problem which has ever been generally solved.  At this point,
our build system is for the most part up to the task of performing a
bottled build, but the tools themselves are not.  This means that for
at least the short term, linking against host libraries is inevitable.
In the short term, our best bet is version parity with the build host.
