Some machines cannot run a 32 bit kernel, so the "easier" idea will not work. Personally, I think the libc dependencies are unnecessarily tight. Maybe someone should test overriding libc's kernel version test, and running a new libc on woody's kernel instead? -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
