In my build of 6.4-rc1, the box was hanging, apparently for more
than 10 minutes, in the gettext tests. Last thing in the log was

For a long time, distros have patched glibc to show the distro's
details when you run /lib/libc.so.6 - this is typically encountered
when people report a bug to the kernel list and run scripts/ver_linux
from the kernel tree.
Now that glibc no longer has official releases, we are just using a

Me again!
I seem to have an excess of man pages from vim. It's possible I've
fubar'd something when I removed my own "everything UTF-8" commands,
it's equally possible vim has always done this duplication. So I'll
start by asking if other people have this:
fr pages in man/fr man/fr.ISO8859-1
Such as they are, here are the things I noted from my test logs. My
build had the following variations from the book:
1. built from a host with a 2.6.27.5 kernel, and used 2.6.27.5
headers.
2. glibc was given configparms of
"CFLAGS += -march=i686 -mtune=native"
and configured with --enable-kerne

Using farce-002 to test my version of 6.4-rc1, I had one
explainable difference: perl's CORE/config.h and Config_heavy.pl
differed because my in-place rebuild didn't have /proc mounted, so
/proc/self/exe wasn't defined.
/usr/lib/libgmpxx.la also added libstdc++.la to its dependency
