Even if I'm already using the latest version (from tarballs) of binutils? This is what the glibc INSTALL file says about binutils: * GNU `binutils' 2.10.1 or later Here's my ld version: GNU ld 2.11 and my as version: GNU assembler 2.11 Building latest GCC's is the main reason I want to build glibc. GCC 3.0 seems to need the latest version of glibc. Here's the gcc version I have installed: 2.95.2 The glibc INSTALL file says this about GCC: * GCC 2.95 or newer The GNU C library can only be compiled with the GNU C compiler family. As of the 2.2 release, GCC 2.95.2 or higher is required. As of this writing, GCC 2.95.3 is the compiler we advise to use. I have 2.95.2 which should be ok. Note: I am NOT trying to install a debian package to do this, just install glibc on a debian system. Any other possible problems? Nic
