I read glibc 2.3 is binary compatible with 2.2.5..
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)
