binary incompatibility on SPARC ?

Hi,

I have the following problem on SPARC:

I compile glibc 2.2(.1) with kernel 2.4.0 header files and I have
an old libz compiled against glibc 2.1.3.

If I compile/link now a program against this both libraries, it 
will seg.fault if I recompile libz against glibc 2.2. It crashes
right in the dynamic loader.

If I compile/link a program against glibc 2.2 and libz (compiled
against glibc 2.2, too), it works with the new libz and the old
one (compiled against 2.1.3).

As far as I can see the only difference is sysconf. The new libz
uses sysconf, the old one not. Could this be the problem ? Or is
there another function, which is binary incompatible if compiled 
with LFS or not ?

  Thorsten

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
