Would be nice :o) "The 2.3.x release should be binary compatible with the 2.2 and earlier releases. All correct programs should continue to run. This does *not* mean that programs compiled on a system running glibc 2.3.x will run on systems with only glibc 2.2. Compatibility is always in one direction. Systems with glibc 2.2 will not even attempt to run binaries generated with glibc 2.3.x if this is not possible so there is not much to worry about." I want it!! :o) --=20 Bart Verwilst Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Gent, Belgium _______________________________________________ gentoo-dev mailing list gentoo-dev@gentoo.org http://lists.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
