How did you get the new glibc to even compile??? I downloaded it, plus
all the other stuff, tried to compile it and, although the 'C' stuff did
compile, the build failed when it attempted to link with the C-Compiler
Library!!! The result was "multiple-symbol" errors. Why would it link
with the 'C' ___COMPILER___????

I tried to send in a report using the "%*^#%^#(8~#" script provided,
and it uses Emacs!! Emacs on this machine is broken and seg-faults.
I had to modify the script to use vi. Then, after all that work,
I never even got a reply.
Cheers,
