Rebuilt with a patch from Arch to reenable DT_HASH in shared objects since the change broke Steam games that use EPIC's EAC. I'm not exactly 100% on board with this approach, but since DT_GNU_HASH remains and is still used, I guess I'll go along with it for now. Hopefully EAC will be patched and we can back this out. Thanks to Swaggajackin for the notice and for providing links to the glibc bug discussion as well as the patch. If anything else needs a rebuild after this, let me know in the LQ thread. l/glibc-i18n-2.36-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt. l/glibc-profile-2.36-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt. xap/vim-gvim-9.0.0223-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt. kernels/*: Upgraded. usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img: Rebuilt.
