It's my understanding that the only problem with compiling Dev86 with the
newer libc6 is that the /usr/bin/ar program core dumps and that the FILE * = stdin;
statement in one of the directories break. Is that what you've found?
Rob has replaced the /usr/bin/ar with my ar86 in the latest dev86, I'm not sure
about the FILE * bug.
We shouldn't have to install all sorts of rpm's to get the dev86 package running.
