But Kai, what if there was an explosion at the linux factory, and we all woke up tomorrow morning to find the last pre-built glibc had caught fire and burned to the ground? What if we had to start again and build everything from scratch, but nobody knew how to any more? > As Jan told, all kind of bad "Bernsteinian socialists" really can start > their "bettering the world" > from the existing situation, to use the existing target glibcs directly > in their crosstools for SuSEs, > Red Hats, Debians, Mandrivas, Gentoos etc. As sad as this sounds, I'm > one of these... I'm perfectly happy to do so myself, building a cross-glibc is the absolute worst part of the entire gnu world and I'd rather avoid it when I can, but I still understand why someone might _want_ to know how it's done. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... ------ Want more information?
