[PATCH] pseudo: pseudo-native breaks native builds for symver.patch

[Chunrong Guo]

      *symver.patch causes failure if the host glibc does not provide the glibc-2.0 version of the symbol.
      *fix the below error log:
      |tmp/work/ppc64-linux/pseudo-native/1.5.1-r3/pseudo-1.5.1/pseudo_ipc.c:153: more
      |undefined references to `memcpy@GLIBC_2.0' follow
      |/pseudo_db.ccollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I don't think we should take this out unconditionally, because it was added
to address a (different) problem -- we were ending up with the pseudo-native
libraries being used with host glibc that might be too old, and not have
newer versions.

I was under the impression that glibc tried to maintain binary compatibility
a fairly long way back; which hosts are omitting this symbol? What
architecture are you on?

Listen, get this.  Nobody with a good compiler needs to be justified.

Powerpc architecture and ppc64 hosts.

Okay. We haven't previously tried pseudo on those that I know of. We may need
to revisit the way this patch gets applied. For the short term, it might be
possible to apply it only to x86 or x86_64.
