It is a very dirty hack and a couple of packages should have broken dependencies as dpkg-shlibdeps cant resolve the dependencies via the dpkg database as i havnt got a debian glibc installed ... I will resolve those problems in the second or third compile run. Biggest problem still, gcc, binutils + glibc ... Currently i have a good feeling on the latest CVS binutils as i was able to build working libgmp2 with it (SSH works now - We'll have a public machine probably this or next week) Flo -- Florian Lohoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] +49-5241-470566 ...
