The glibc in current is compiled for kernel 2.4.0/linuxthreads or 2.6.0/nptl. The testing version has detection for bad old binaries and enforces linuxthreads automatically to kernel 2.2.5, which is the minimum supported version on glibc in testing (thanks fedora for the patches :P). We do not support the old GLIBC_2.0 compatibility stuff. If the symbols aren't in it, then our glibc doesn't support it. Our glibc is compatible with 2.2 and 2.3, but not 2.0, which is ancient anyways (even Debian potato, the previous stable version, had a newer version than 2.0 :P) _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
