Hmmm which libc version do you use? 1.99 ? If so, you can't run slink
binaries.

Native dpkg for powerpc under glibc-2.1 makes trouble! We have a little
workaround for this (thanks dan!).

I've made the glibc. I've tested it with many kernel releases and i
have no problems. Also tested it against redhat glibc-2.1 and vice versa
with redhat bineries with slink packages. No problems of all!

Do the jump to glibc-2.1 and you can use slink.

Should be possible. I've done it similary on a zip device. For a getty
you can install the mingetty package.

powerpc doesn't have a /lib/ld-linux.so. The ld.so is a link to
ld-2.0.94.so and this is in the glibc package.
Any successful or unsuccessful report are welcome.
