It depends. Gentoo seems to be the only distribution which has a problem
with the default setting of NPTL workaround enabled. That's why I keep 
the default in dvd::rip, and it's absolutely Ok if the Gentoo packages 
patch this default to off.

That's the real problem! A really bad deadlock situation. I just 
committed a patch to CVS which deletes the tool_version_cache file if 
the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL setting changed in the meantime. A cache is only a
good cache if it's discarded automatically if things it depends on are 
changing...

I hope this will calm the Gentoo guys a bit now... ;)

Joern
