Title:
  Solution to Nvidia + cairo-gl memory problem proposed by Nvidia

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-
  devel/2012-March/002798.html

  A small portion of that post from Nvidia:
  "Attached is a proof-of-concept patch which fixes this issue for the x86_64 Linux ELF loader. By both applying this patch to the loader and prelinking libnvidia-glcore.so, distros can reduce the memory overhead of linking an application against the NVIDIA libGL to just a few kB:"

  This is the same as bug #725434 which has been closed Won't Fix for
  the Nvidia drivers, figured it would be better to start over here that
  re-open that?
