thanks for the response,
First read go and very very carefully read:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=2#doc_chap4
i've read that and basically it explained everthing i needed to know
beforehand. which, mostly i did. however, my questions come after
making the move to 2.6.1-mm5 - not necessarily ~x86.
Once you've done that, _try_ downgrading gcc again unless your confident that
i cant downgrade anything. emerge right now fails on everything because
it needs libstdc++.so.5... so ill symlink 6 to 5 and try again.
Also realize that the most "bleeding-edge" thing you can do at the moment is
to go with the 2.6 headers. Furthermore, they weren't actually required to
use a 2.6 kernel.
right, they weren't. but they were required to get nptl support
compiled into glibc. now, im noticing that nptl support was stripped
from the latest build of glibc and if i get portage working, ill have to
resort to a pre-xxx version. but even still, shouldnt there be a
linux-headers-2.6.1 so that i can have matching headers to compile glibc
against?
thanks again,
Frank
