I suppose that if you want to replace glibc without rebuilding the system, the safest way would be to do it the same way a package manager (RPM or dpkg) would do it. If I recall correctly, the glibc FAQ warns against doing "make install" on a running system. I haven't thought about what would be required, or the risks of something breaking. I think I still prefer to build a new system. _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-support
