Two things: I tried rebuilding 2.1.3-4 on alpha but failed because some directory did not exist. Could you please look into this? I can not, because - my alpha is on the CeBIT on the Debian booth - I find it tough to understand the debian rules for building.
the other is on i386. I want to patch the glibc source with the stubs from ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/ so I can strip it and save space on my ramdisk (embedded system). Where would I put the patches and still be able to use dpkg-buildpackage (which I find really neat!)? Do I need to change anything else?
