Does anyone have a genhdlist built statically that will work? A friend
and I are sort of stuck in a chicken/egg situation: we want to create a
5.1 CDROM with updated RPMs, but we don't have 5.1 installed anywhere.
If anyone has a pointer to a pre-built static genhdlist it would help a
lot.

Thanks!

Just get the sources of genhdlist (they are in the RH 5.1 tree) and
rebuild genhdlist as static (on a RH 5.1 system).  Just add -static on
the CFLAGS line in the included Makefile and do "make genhdlist".
Works flawlessly at least on old RH 3.0.3 (non-glibc) systems and
I think on all ELF-based Linux-systems.
