Your patch works perfectly. Thanks!
But I think something may have gone wrong when I compiled glibc, because
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h was empty. I tried replacing it with one from
Mandrake (9.2rc1) and then setlogin was detected as non-implemented even
without your patch. I'm using glibc-2.3.1, btw.
