The glibc-2.7 bug with libpthread.a

With glibc 2.7 (for eg. on Fedora Core 8), if you see the error message below, use this libpthread.a that I compiled from a CVS snapshot of glibc (glibc-2.7-20080428.tar.bz2 at glibc snapshots which has the bug fixed. Just overwrite your libpthread.a in /usr/lib64/ with this one.
/usr/lib/../lib64/libpthread.a(pthread_cond_timedwait.o): In function `pthread_cond_timedwait': (.text+0xa7): undefined reference to `__vdso_clock_gettime'
More information on the bug is at
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5531 and at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=453349
Save time not locating, downloading, compiling one for yourself, or not waiting for the next 2.8 release that will come with Fedora Core 9. Everyone using ICC on Fedora Core 8 for example is affected when you use say '-openmp'.
