libsafe - FC4 x86_64 rebuild failed
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:06 EST
This package failed to rebuild on x86_64 for FC4 Development around 2005-04-11 after an automated release bump. No build logs available afaics. Please request a rebuild.
x86_64 is unsupported. libsafe is i386 only. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 143327 ***

And why can gentoo build for x86_64 when we can't: http://mozilla.mirrors.tds.net/pub/gentoo-portage/sys-libs/libsafe/libsafe-2.0_p16-r1.ebuild
Does it actually work? Until somebody proves that it works it should be removed. It can be dangerous otherwise.

s/meat/means/
With FORTIFY_SOURCE libsafe is mostly redundant, and might actually be avoided for most library calls since the built binaries call the *_chk equivalents. libsafe was useful before FORTIFY_SOURCE in cases where you were unable to use the protection of exec-shield. libsafe should theoretically not be dangerous on i386 though. I don't think it is worth the effort on x86_64. There is plenty other higher priority stuff needing fixing for FC4.
