I'm using latest development kernels (2.1.115 at the time) together
with glibc 2.0.7t.

Everything works fine, thanks, I'm a very satisfied man. :)

Now, the question *is*, can I use glibc 2.0.95 safely?

I would like to test aio_* functions and other new features (like new
terminals, for example), but I'm not sure will everything work
correctly, like it is now.

I like to be on the (b)leeding edge... :)
