Rebuild for glibc-2.17_multilib in slackware-current
Pat’s inquery on LinuxQuestions.org about how to “backtrack to sanity” in order to stabilize slackware-current and start laying out the next release, resulted in a kernel upgrade (3.8.8) and accompanying glibc rebuild. I built the “companion” update of the glibc multilib packages last night.

Multilib updates to go with new kernel
Hi folks!
