To me, the big risk (and the reason I don't typically suggest rebuilding glibc) is the installation. Done wrong, and you definitely just broke everything. I trust Drepper and friends to make sane releases in the same series. For instance, what if you'd built your system midway through glibc-2.3.x? You wouldn't want the fixes in 2.3.6? -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
