You must have tried it a long time ago. We've been using the
versioned glibc since February. At the same time as that big
transition, we retargeted the userspace at ARMv3, so the userspace
will run on almost every ARM platform from ARM6 to StrongARM.
The Debian ARM port is starting to look fairly complete, but we've
still got a ways to go before it's polished enough to be released as a
"stable" port. In particular, the installation procedure needs lots
of work.
We're finally now using the same gcc and glibc as the other Debian
ports, so things should go fairly smoothly from now on. Hopefully,
we'll have an autobuilder installed soon, so we should be able to keep
in sync with the other Debian ports.
Cheers,
