.. I'm not a very experienced Linux user, I've been using FreeBSD for longer. At work I keep a subtree of a gentoo kernel-2.4/glibc-2.3 which I do not update for chroot whenever I need to compile things for a 2.4 kernel. Do you (anyone?) have any hints on the less inconvenient way to run glibc-2.2.5 programs on Gentoo? -- Miguel Ramos <2...@miguel.ramos.name> GnuPG ID 0xA006A14C

was expected to see. Anyway, it seems to me that all that is needed is to have the GPU compiler running on the host system. I wouldn't think that the code produced or the binding code for the CPU would then require us to pull in glibc-2.2.5. But then, I never used Brook+ or Cal. -- Miguel Ra
