Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 09:35:15 -0500 (EST) From: Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com> All fine and dandy, now think big-time vendors and tell me how to tell them that all their dveelopment libraries they have put out are now useless. It is quite of a challenge to deal with the big folks as it is; if we pull a fast one like this on them it is going to become increasingly difficult. The solution is very simple. Tell people not to upgrade their development environment to glibc 2.1.3. This doesn't prevent people from upgrading their runtime environment. It is not too difficult to set things up such that the compiler and linker keep on using the old libs and headers. This has the additional advantage that you'll be able to produce binaries that run on older systems. But you'll also get the important bug-fixes contained in glibc 2.1.3. Mark
