I have a 20th century type system here (No hotplug, no udev in kernel)
I was running on the 2.4 kernel as far as glibc in ch.5, which barfed
over the kernel being to old. I moved to 2.6 in the host system and now
am hitting problems in Ch 6. Glibc wouldn't configure because it
couldn't _read_ /dev/null. I replaced the node with a file perms 1777
and off we went until the make check
GCONV_PATH=/tools/build/glibc-build/iconvdata LC_ALL=C
/tools/build/glibc-build/elf/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path

How come I couldn't read /dev/null?
Am I going to get anywhere with you guys using udev, and my system not
set up for it? Do I have to update to update?:-/.
Oh, one other thing.Random number generation isn't working in this 2.6
kernel - is that going to stop me, or do I have to go building? I was
very happy on a 2.4x kernel, but that's not your fault...
TIA
