According to Mike Frysinger, this patch was removed from Gentoo in the
2.3.x series and didn't seem to cause any adverse effects. So toss it
from the patch directories for glibc 2.5 and up.
2 elf/librtld.os: In function `process_envvars': : undefined reference to `__access'
4 when building glibc-2.3.3 on cygwin
7 http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-glibc/2002-01/msg00071/glibc-2.2-cygin-shared.patch
8 Basically, make glibc use .oST as suffix for 'object static'
9 instead of .oS, since cygwin has trouble distinguishing .os from .oS
10 (Original patch had .on, but .oST is more mnemonic for 'object static')
12 glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.3 also requires a patch, see
13 ../glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.3/glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.3-cygwin.patch
