Hi guys,

I have just find a very old machine running redhat 7.2 + linux 2.4 +
glibc 2.2.

Bootstraping works fine with gcc-4.2.4, until I emerged gcc-4.4.3-r2 and
the final "emerge -u system".

Almost everything generates an error like:

,----
| .....
| In file included from /usr/include/signal.h:358,
|                  from bzip2.c:53:
| /usr/include/bits/sigthread.h:36: error: storage class specified for
| parameter 'type name'
`----

/usr/include/signal.h is from glibc, so I think gcc-4.4.3 is not
compatable with glibc 2.2.

Q1: what is the lastest gcc version supported by glibc 2.2?
Q2: is it possible to emerge a new glibc on top of the old one?
