>Description:
databases/linux-oracle-instantclient-sqlplus port will not work with emulators/linux_base{'',-8,-rh-9} because they have only glibc 2.3.2
>How-To-Repeat:
Install any of emulators/linux_base{'',-8,-rh-9} for linux emulation and databases/linux-oracle-instantclient-sqlplus. Try to run sqlplus. Get something like:

/compat/linux/usr/bin/sqlplus: relocation error: /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.2.20060331/client/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1: symbol semtimedop, version GLIBC_2.3.3 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference


>Fix:
Possible workarounds:
- use CONFLICTS variable in Makefile to forbid installing such combination
- add a check for linux glibc version
- deprecate old linux_base ports
- add newer glibc rpm to old linux_base ports (in theory)
- add a check for successful dynamic linking (how? sick ld on the executables?)
