>Description:
/usr/include/sys/utsname.h:
Declaring "uname()" to be a static inline calling __xuname()" is causing problems. Many *.so libs in ported packages now all directly calls for
__xuname(), so legacy 3.x/4.x binaries using these *.so libs don't work
anymore -- these binaries do not refer to libc.so.5.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Remove the section defining uname() to be calling __xuname().
Rebuild packages. Or, remove compat3 and compat4 so to make it clear
that those binaries will very likely fail to start.
