It may be on par with kernel builds for such uses. One of the egcs release time tests is compiling glibc without problems. glibc really stresses the compiler. 2. pgcc, at least the verion I have, is buggy. The web site has a newer version for glibc2.0 if you want binaries. If you need libc5 pgcc, you should probably build it from sources instead of using an older binary. 3. glibc2.1 has some glob bugs. It isn't clear if this is just a bug in `make check` or something in the actual library. There may be some non-political reasons to wait for the FSF to release 2.1.1 (which presumably with either not have the advertising clause in BSD licenses or will compile with gcc, depending on who you listen to; if the latter, it could easily be released along with a new less-buggy gcc). Those glob bugs are known but we couldn't find so far what's broken (user shell, glibc code,...). It's always better to avoid a .0 release and let others do the testing;-).

I've recently purchased Monster Fusion which runs on Voodoo Banshee chip
set. When I try to install RedHat Linux 5.2 on my computer, the
installation wizard won't recognize the video card. Of course, I kind of
knew that my video card wouldn't be on the video card configuration wizard
list since it's a very new video card. Can somebody help me how to
configure this video card? I would greatly appreciate if someone can help
me out.

If your distribution uses glibc, you should use pthreads. Pthreads in
recent glibc evolved from LinuxThreads written by Xavier Leroy. The
threading is implemented using clone().
FWIW, to use clone directly you must use assembler.

Does anybody know of any now?
There is a mode in gdb that allows remote debugging (of cooperating user
programs). The stub that needs to be compiled into the user program can
also be adapter to run in the kernel. I'll be having a go at it when
CeBIT is over ...

If this is to be regarded as an installation problem rather than a

Did you compile glibc-2.1 with the crypt add-on? Just add -lcrypt to the
LDFLAGS part of the Makefile (guess).

Is your ISP 'INTX'? They want you to use PAP for the login procedure.
(Note: the other access number for these guys uses the standard
username/password procedure. You may want to try it.) You will need to
set up PPP to use the pap-secrets file to get this connection to work.
INTX also doesn't work with compressed headers so disable this in the
pppd command string.
