    I think it was around the same time when I disabled it altogether in the Makefiles of some software. Let’s hope it’s upstream now.

      Ironically, the bug report I read was originally filed for Android as crashpad did not built with bionic either (bionic being the C library on Android).

      Glibc is the most popular C library on Linux but also the most non-standard.
