Robert P. J. DAY says:
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.
3 # Adds a new version to one of the toolchain component
8 Usage: ${myname} <tool> [option] <version>
10 --gcc, --binutils, --glibc, --uClibc, --linux,
11 --gdb, --dmalloc, --duma, --strace, --ltrace, --libelf
13 Valid options for all tools:
15 mark the version as being experimental
18 mark the version as being obsolete
20 Valid mandatory 'option' for tool==linux is one and only one of:
21 --install, --sanitised, --copy
23 'version' is a valid version for the specified tool.
26 add version 2.6.19.2 to linux kernel install method:
27 ${myname} --linux --install 2.6.19.2
29 add versions 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 to glibc:
30 ${myname} --glibc 2.3.5 2.3.6
