We need to get debian/sarge out of the way, and then we can finally start upgrading the glibc again. I am no glibc maintainer, but that is what i am told. Sorry that the long release cycle is forcing an over-llong glibc freeze, but changing glibc now will be a major problem. The good news is that we are probably going to release in the next 3 month or so. > There's a glibc bug about it, with a way-too-low > priority.

Don't be stupid, only a few people really need NPTL stuff, and you can always follow testing/unstable once sarge is released. And i think that the above comment is a little insulting for all the work that has gone into debian/sarge and the powerpc port over the past three years, and i expect a more humble tone from you next time you ask us to use our freely given time and work for your pet project. I don't see you contributing to the project, or maybe i missed your external repository with a NPTL aware glibc and a rebuild of all the packages ? > BTW, gcc-3.4 is working quite well for me.
