We're trying. Princeton U. was nice enough to give me a VM
account & I'm back in business of booting the Linux kernel.
It comes up to the point of trying to load & execute /bin/sh
(using this glibc) & Neale Fergusen in Australia is now wrestling
with the stack. So we're pretty pumped. If we can get the kernel
booting to a command line prompt reasonably reliably, work on
glibc should resume. Meanwhile thanks for the patience. Its
not often in life that one gets a chance to do something like this.
