Yes, glibc-2.2.5 can be successfully compiled with gcc-3.2 and the resulting shared library libc.so (libc-2.2.5.so) works with all the old apps that used to work with libc compiled with gcc-2.95.3. The trouble is the new ldconfig that comes with glibc-2.2.5 does not work properly anymore, so that none of the other shared libs can be seen. For example X does not work anymore because it can't see the other libs. Too bad. I believed though that if we recompile everything against the new library, the things will be okay. But that is simply too much trouble. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
