Well going back that far shouldn't be necesary unless there are major issues with glibc-2.5 it has linuxthreads, and it does compile. I would need to continue with the build to ensure its stable.
I came across mentions of debian's patches, but have not located the patches yet. I will have dig for em, but they should be in the normal places. I just hadn't looked hard yet. Thought I would ask on the list to see if I was missing something first. I will check the apt repo's and get back to list on that.

Several distro's still use 2.3.6, so finding the bug fixes shouldn't be difficult. Debian's Glibc patches might be the best choice. robert On Friday August 31 2007 07:51:47 pm Bob Baker wrote: > So to that end I am running through the 2.4 glibc version of the book. > Happy to see its been merged into the mainline book.
