yes,
and I have 24 systems based on libc5, and every time I compile something
complex like gcc or XFree86 4.2.0, or something network related I can even
have an hard
time with the sources (the most of times are just minimal hacks).

Point is that actually C sources under Linux are developed 99% on glibc,
and as a result they are mostly developed to link against glibc and to be
compiled with gcc.

Luigi

p.s.
by the way, never had problems to compile linux 2.4 on those systems ;).
