Yep, i understand your frustration, but at least we have biarch now, which enables us to do some work. Once the glibc 2.3.5 or whatever it is is a bit stabilized, there will be no excuse anymore, but i have good faith that NPTL support will happen in the next month or so. > I'm really getting too disgusted to even try anymore.

But if in a month or so NPTL is not yet enabled, we will go and ask them, but the current way is to make small incremental steps, i guess. This is irrelevant to the rest of the decision about biarch, and i would like your input on this one. In particular if anyone knows what the status of linking 32bit code with 64bit code is ? Or if we really need to rebuild all libraries as 64bit version ? Friendly, Sven LUther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
