That was quick.
I have glibc 2.3 packaged on freebsd-i386 now, although it has some
quite large patches. I'll make a diff for the debian build scripts.
The major change is that the package should be libc1 on freebsd-i386.
This is because glibc upstream decided that soname should be 1. (Recent
native libc is .4 or .5.) There are also a couple cases where I alter
linux vs. hurd tests in debian/rules. (e.g. ifeq gnu to ifneq linux.)
