So which is it? To add VMX support to powerpc64 I need to version 
setjmp/longjmp and [get | make | set | swap]context. More specifically I 
need to be backward compatible to what shipped in RHEL 3. On my resently 
  installed RHEL 3 GA system I see /lib64/libc-2.3.2.so. But when I run:

readelf -a /lib64/libc-2.3.2.so | grep 'GLIBC_2\.3\.'

I see a significant number of *@@GLIBC_2.3.3 symbols. For example:

     74: 0000000000127484    60 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 
.gnu_dev_makedev@@GLIBC_2.3.3
     94: 000000000014b7e4    64 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 
.inet6_option_init@@GLIBC_2.3.3

So is GLIBC_2.3.3 (effectively) released? And any ABI changes need to be 
  targeted for GLIBC_2.3.4?
