I've filed a wishlist bug at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=328183 to include the
Glibc patch [1] some how in Debian proper.

[1] http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenSpecificGlibc

I'm a bit rusty with assembly language, but Debian's current glibc-2.3.5-6 seems to have included this patch already, if -DNO_TLS_DIRECT_SEG_REFS is specified with gcc. I'm compiling libc6 on a spare server right now to test it. (It's going REALLY slow as it is a slow server - ATHLON 800.)

Will report back in a day or two.

Oddest thing... the latest Debian libc6-i686 package (2.3.5-6) doesn't generate any TLS warning with Xen. So I don't have to compile my own version after all - the compilation failed anyway :-). Could others confirm this!?

I have been stuck with Mercurial 0.6b because 0.6c (presume 0.7 too) requires libc6 2.3.5. Now I can upgrade! :-)
