Hi.
I am currently trying to rebuild a recent version of fwbuilder for Fedora Extras and I have hit a wall.
The wall is named ns_parserr() and it comes from libresolve, which exists in a static and a dynamic form in /usr/lib. Both seem to be unusable for this function.
ns_parserr is replaced by __ns_parserr by the preprocessor. The latter symbol is not present in -lresolv. It is provided, though, by libresolv.a, which fwbuilder thus chooses to link against. This introduces a GLIBC_PRIVATE symbol into the binary (__res_iclose) which RPM does not like at all.
So what am I supposed to do against this? Should ns_parserr not be used? Is there a bug in glibc?
