Hello,
I want to do a new "distro" (home-brew) in some weeks,
when kernel 2.4 runs fine with gcc-3.0 when it's
finished. I want to use libc5 because I prefer it
over GNU and it's smaller. Is it possible or do
I have to expect major problems? I know that I won't
be able to use IPv6 etc. but that's not important.
Last distro I had good experience with 2.0.38
and libc5.4.46.
And, are there ANY updates to 5.4.46 (security
and/or bugfix?)
TIA

It should work due the compatibility calls. It will probably cease to work
well in 2.5 however, once we go large device types. You will also miss out on
most of the 2.4 features with libc5
(in fact libc4 and libc2.2 still work)
