utmpx hidden

[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan-3]

It seems getutmpx symbol is hidden in s390.

In s390 sid chroot:

---8<---
$ objdump -T /lib/libc.so.6 | grep utmp
0010d474  w   DF .text 0000013c  GLIBC_2.0   utmpname
0010deac g    DF .text 000000a0 (GLIBC_2.1.1) getutmp
0010e47c g    DF .text 0000001e  GLIBC_2.9   getutmp
0010ddc0 g    DF .text 000000ec (GLIBC_2.1.1) getutmpx
0010e424 g    DF .text 0000002c  GLIBC_2.1   utmpxname
---8<---

However, it seems to still be exported in its symbols file:

http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/mole/symbols/.dump/symbols?key=DEBIAN/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6_2.9-26_s390.deb

That is, it's available for loader, but not for linker, despite the fact
that <utmpx.h> is still shipped for applications to call.

What would s390 porting team suggest? Is getutmpx() still available in s390?

Yes it should be available. Last year there was some code added[1] to
convert between 32 and 64bit utmp because s390 was missed earlier. This
code seems to not end up in the library.

Reassign to the glibc.
