[Buildroot] aplay fails because of alsa-lib build issue with uclibc and versioned symbols - (Solution included)

[Julien Boibessot]

Hi,

I was recently faced to the same problem Gururaja encountered some times
ago:
(my config is buildroot / uclibc / arm920)

Gururaja Hebbar K R a écrit :

Gururaja suggested to add "--with-versioned=no" to alsa-lib configuration.
It was the solution for me too, even if I have no idea why yet.

Do the "non-arm" people have the same problem ? Is it related to uclibc
for all architectures ?

Should I open a bug report to see this problem corrected ?
