Allô.

Data point, to hopefully help make the feedback for GLIBC 2.1.2pre3
less lousy.  :-/

GLIBC 2.1.2pre3, gcc 2.95.1, binutils 2.9.1.0.25, compiled with Linux
kernel 2.2.10 headers.

Intel Pentium 166, 96MB RAM.

Compiled without errors.  A few warnings (attached, in case anybody
wants to look.)  Sorry, didn't time how long it took to build.  A few
hours, anyway.

"make check" failed at the "ftw" test.  This is related to NLS and
"sort"; "make check" does not fail when run in an environment with LANG
and LC_ALL unset, or with LANG and LC_ALL set to a value I never use
and for which I have never run "localedef".  I'll poke around a bit
more on this one, as I don't know who the problem belongs to, yet.

Installed on Linux kernel 2.2.12; system has been up 23 hours & a bit
so far with light usage (X, xterms, a few GTK+ programs, compiling &
using various programs (fetchmail, mutt, glib, gtk+, imlib, lsof,)
and the usual suspects (ls, ps, w, vi, cp, mv, rm, make, pppd, etc.,)
most of which were originally compiled against GLIBC 2.1.1.)

Thanks,
Matt.
