You are correct, in that this particular complaint is not directly on-topic,
and for that I apologize.
However, IMO the thread is definitely not off topic - my original post was
an idea to amend the gcc toolchain to make running two separate glibcs
in parallel possible. And since glibc and gcc seem to be joined at the hip,
this is IMO definitely on topic.
