Well, so you need: - new binutils, easy to do. - new gcc, already in Mandrake and RedHat (?? about SuSE and others) - new glibc, probably the first update when Cooker and RawHide are unfrozen again. And it is a final release. Problem is kernel 2.5. Too 'risky'. I would like to ask again: could you state what new kernel features are needed (futexes, cpu-affinity syscalls, signalling changes...). Perhaps people can use 2.4 -ac or -aa trees (if for example nptl only needs futexes). TIA -- J.A.
