Comment 1 Miroslav Vadkerti 2011-08-17 11:57:52 UTC
The developer is willing to fix this issue

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-08-17 13:11:05 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has 
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed 
products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-10-07 16:07:27 UTC
Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:51:59 UTC
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Comment 11 Jakub Jelen 2015-11-09 16:06:52 UTC
OK. For further readers. I see this rpmdiff is related to build with relro patch. But even if I return back before the relro patch, the build log is still the same.

This message was not introduced by tcp_wrappers patch, but appeared as an consequence of gcc update (see root logs for respective packages in brew).

This is bad coding standard related to pointer aliasing [1] and fix would require to rework ip/ipv6 handling. At this point I would rather be for the way "do not touch this if it works" and there is no demand nor future (deprecation in RHEL7?).
