Hi,

I have just push the glibc-2.10(.1) toolchain rebuild into [testing].  
Apart from the glibc bump, I also updated gmp and took a newer gcc-4.4 
snapshot which fixes a few compile issues.


Here goes some information about the glibc update:

The whole broken DNS server issue rears its head again.  It is a bit 
more fixed than with glibc-2.9, but if you are having issues, read the 
above link for ways to handle this.


Some C++ programs that did incorrect things with string const-ness will 
fail to compile with glibc-2.10.  If you have issues, look to Fedora for 
patches as F11 has done their builds with this.



gmp 4.3.0 is buggy and causes internal compiler errors on at least i686.
Updating to 4.3.1 is advised.
  


Yes... I have been busy flying around for work so I haven't had time to 
update this yet.  Update coming soon.

Forgot to mention what may be on of the more important parts...  The 
minimum kernel version required for glibc was bumped from 2.6.16 to 2.6.18.
