Details

Description:

Since extra/valgrind-3.5.0-2 (current package version at the time of writing) depends on glibc<2.11, I added glibc to IgnorePkg and upgraded the rest of the system. Part of the update was gcc-4.4.2-3. Unfortunately, gcc/g++ now stopped working - when called, they tell me:

gcc: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by gcc)

Therefore I think that glibc=2.11 should be added as a dependency of gcc.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
core/gcc=4.4.2-3
core/glibc=2.10.1-5
extra/valgrind-3.5.0-2
* config and/or log files etc.
in /etc/pacman/conf:
IgnorePkg = glibc

Steps to reproduce:
Install glibc=2.10.1-5 and gcc=4.4.2-3 and try to compile something.
This task depends upon

If we start doing this, we need to add that versioned dependency to every package in the repository, since every package can link to versioned symbols of the glibc version they're compiled against. The current version of valgrind is 3.5.0-3 and depends on the latest glibc, so you can just upgrade glibc here.

Never partially update your system. We only support the package versions in the repo.
