The next glibc upload includes '--enable-libio' and libc0.3 as the packages. Our staging archive has ~1000 packages in it. It appears to work (massive compiles, and uploads and downloads using ssh and apt-get) to basic testing. The only thing I'm not certain about yet is why make check is failing. I've set that as one of my tasks this week. > > 1) Try builds with Marcus' ioperms patches.

I didn't manage to test it Saturday (the weather was too nice), although I have emailed with the oskit package maintainer about making sure that Jon's patch gets in there. I would like to put a sample package of oskit-mach up somewhere for people to play with. It seems to work well enough on my system, that it's now my first choice in the grub menu. I seem to remember you emailing a bit ago asking for folks to test this for possible inclusion in glibc-2.2.

I just caught up on the libc-alpha mail this evening. I'll try and figure out the right fix and get it submitted in time for the gcc-3.1 release.
