Description Nitin Kamble 2012-06-01 15:55:46 UTC
The kernel v3.4 has changed ABI for x32. So it needed newer x32 support in libc. Also glibc 2.16 development branch picked the x32 changes. glibc 2.16 will be released soon (Jun 2012). Hoping that eglibc 2.16: will get released soon after glibc 2.16 gets released. 

  This bug will wait till eglibc 2.16 get's released.
