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.
1 Lets you run 'make oldconfig' and 'make menuconfig' on systems
2 where shared libraries aren't easy. (There's no harm in using the
3 static version of libkconfig.)
4 Idea mentioned by Bertrand Marquis, but this patch is a bit simpler than his.
