Comment:
I've read through some of the links on this page and, transitively, an essay at https://maskray.me/blog/2022-08-21-glibc-and-dt-gnu-hash that leaves me wondering:
1. Why we carry a patch attempting to revert the linker change contrary to our usual deference to upstream. They have been aware of this problem for months and are apparently uninterested in the issue or reverting the change.
2. Why this issue isn't closed as WONTFIX with a note that EAC needs to fix its shit. The patch doesn't fix Void-packaged software, it fixes proprietary software fetched optionally by one of our packages. Furthermore, as already noted, there are alternatives like flatpak while people bother the EAC people to fix what broke.
