  The ABI status of ELF hash tables
  
  It is fair to say that some projects are rather more concerned about preserving ABI compatibility than others; the GNU C Library (glibc) project stands out even among those that put a lot of effort into preserving interface stability, So it may be a bit surprising that a recent glibc change is being blamed for breaking a number of applications, most of which are proprietary games. There is, it seems, a class of glibc changes that can break applications, but which are not deemed to be ABI changes.

  @icedquinn we should feed glibc devs uncooked food for a year and tell it's not recipe break. It's just food in an incompatible format.
