Any chance we see this small patch backported to F20? On our robots we use an architecture that loads plugins from shared libraries (dozens on a complex system) which build on a wide variety of existing system libraries. Therefore we frequently face this problem when loading (many) plugins which load a large number of shared libraries. Another problem for example is graphviz, which itself dlopens plugins for rendering.

We have rolled our own glibc (patch attached) and it works just fine. We would appreciate if that patch could be rolled out in F20. Since it does not change API or ABI this should be safe.

A scratch build for testing (which we use on our production machines) is available at
