Attention Benny Pedersen,

Understood.  glibc is the trickiest package to upgrade since everything relies 
on it.  That is why special partitions are deployed here for experimenting with 
glibc.  Having said that, this reply is being entered on a booted rootfs based 
on glibc-2.28 with a bootstrapped gcc-8.2.0 and at this writing a linux-4.17.11 
kernel.  The original post you are replying to was also from this same rootfs.

 BP> could you test this ? :)

Do you mean the gentoo package?  If so then there is currently no machine set 
up here to make that doable.  The two machines are both set up to experiment 
with the new glibc-2.28 and both have a backup bootable partition that is 
stable just in case they are needed.  So far they aren't but it has only been a 
couple days now.

End transmission.
