This is very ugly. Hmmmm .... you have a working 2.1 system? Then make an
upload
of debian packages (not patched redhat sources) to master. Upload your
glibc (980705-snap or newer), gzip and tar and we will see.
Where are you all living? Europa? We have a developers meeting here in Germany
in two months. This is for m68k but also for powerpc.
