Or what do you do otherwise on a system > with old glibc? Upgrading glibc is normally a major PITA. This would only be required if you'd upgrade the userspace kernel headers on this system to a version not matching the ones glibc was built against - and this has never been considered a good idea (it should work in theory, but not with our current header mess). > -Andi cu Adrian -- Gentoo kernels are 42 times more popular than SUSE kernels among KLive users (a service by SUSE contractor Andrea Arcangeli that gathers data about kernels from many users worldwide).
