Built and installed glibc-2.1.95 on x86 with gcc-2.95.2, on a machine
previously equipped with glibc-2.1.3. The only problem I encountered
was:
- make install fails: After installing the gconv modules in
/usr/lib/gconv, the next recursive "make" call crashes because
this "make" invocation uses libc.so.6 from glibc-2.1.3 but
ISO8859-1.so from glibc-2.1.95, and the gconv module interface is
apparently not binary compatible.
Workaround: "export LC_ALL=C" before "make install". This way,
only the ASCII character set gets used, which is built-in, not in
a module.
KDE, netscape, acroread, etc. all run flawlessly (but not all honour
the de_DE.UTF-8 locale...).
