   Understood.  glibc is the trickiest package to upgrade since everything relies   
   on it.  That is why special partitions are deployed here for experimenting   
   with glibc.  Having said that, this reply is being entered on a booted rootfs   
   based on glibc-2.28 with a bootstrapped gcc-8.2.0 and at this writing a   
   linux-4.17.11 kernel.  The original post you are replying to was also from   
   this same rootfs.   
      
    BP> could you test this ? :)   
      
   Do you mean the gentoo package?  If so then there is currently no machine set   
   up here to make that doable.  The two machines are both set up to experiment   
   with the new glibc-2.28 and both have a backup bootable partition that is   
   stable just in case they are needed.  So far they aren't but it has only been   
   a couple days now.   
      
   End transmission.
