+Ping?
+
+I guess I can look at this in a few weeks or so if no one else does...
+
+>>> We need to either rename or drop one of them (libbsd or libbsd.a from
+>>> glibc), otherwise this will cause bad linking behavior.

+>>> I raised this originally in my libbsd.spec review at
+>>> https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2012-April/014102.html
