You're right. It took me three months to figure out how to do it, but with the right gcc specs and ldscript file Apache-1.3.1 configures correctly for both libc5 and libc6 on a mixed Linux system. ... > You, me, and probably 20 other people use this configuration.

It works with the right magic without any Apache changes, and if someone else happens to wish a similar solution, feel free to point them my direction. Regards, -sb
