Apply by doing: cd /usr/src patch -p0 < 015_realpath.patch And then rebuild and install libc: cd lib/libc make obj cleandir depend make && make install Note that programs that are linked statically will not pick up the change unless they are rebuilt. This includes the contents of /bin and /sbin. The following static binaries use realpath(3): /bin/mv, /bin/systrace, /sbin/mount, /sbin/mount_*, /sbin/mountd, /sbin/umount Of those, the most important to rebuild is /sbin/mountd.
