Yes, I'm working on it. I just meant "You don't have to wait for me
to fix ruby-qt2* stuff at all, just go ahead". I will mark them
broken if I find that I can't get them fixed. (I hope not though)
Still, I'd like you to put KDE2 packages in the 4.3-RELEASE. ;)
The problem in 4.x or prior versions that libc and libc_r cannot be
happily linked together is so annoying that we can't compile a decent
binary if it needs to be linked with both a non-threaded shared
library and a threaded shared library. And ruby-qt2 is the very case,
which means, I can never make it really happy on the stock 4.x anyway.
The combination of libc and libc_r might cause unexpected problems on
a random occasion.
Therefore, I really wish we could MFC the changes against libc_r on
CURRENT in the near future even if it required libc's major to be
bumped..

That should be adopted real soon.

I can just imagine.. We should finally realize that the K of KDE
stands for "kinky". ;)
