Afaik, RedHat seems to be using snapshots of 2.0.7 that are newer than
2.0.7pre3. Their rpm also contains a couple of security fixes so I
recommend converting the Redhat rpms to debs or grabbing the srpm and
building the rpm yourself.
Oh, I just remembered. Steve modified the makefiles to start including
the linker and libc with the jdk package so there is a copy of each in
$JAVA_HOME/lib/i586/green_threads/ . Unfortunately, jdk does not use this
libc by default because under glibc /usr/lib/libc.so is not a symlink but
a text file that contains a list of the actual libraries to load. There
was no good way to duplicate this in the jdk libpath.
