I don't know:  this happens each time a new (g)libc comes out; it takes
several months of complaints from people on various programs before a stable
distribution materializes that has been integrated properly (or patched).

(It doesn't help that some developers have featuritus:  the uncontrollable
desire to use every compiler feature that's available, no matter whether it
works with the compilers already distributed).
