I've just placed a new glibc package for experimental in incoming. libc6-i686 is new, so it may be a few days before it shows up in the archive. These packages should be considered _extremely experimental_, as neither the NPTL libraries (requires 2.6.0; I don't think it will behave right if you have 2.6.0 on an i386; that's on the TODO list to fall back to LinuxThreads) nor the i686 optimized libraries (requires 2.4.18; will misbehave on non-cmov processors) have been well tested. Do not build and upload packages against them. Some intelligence, please :)
Also, many standard Debian patches have been omitted. They will be re-added in a future version. And this package probably won't build on non-i686. Also to be fixed soon. Barring those, any test results are appreciated, please send to debian-glibc. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
