whow, that is a great job done. Just a year ago, a frind of mine has to
bring linux on a ppc embedded system. He has to use glibc .... and we cry.
Glibc seemed to be planed as a big all you can eat pot of spagetti (pardon to
all italians and pasta fans) .

nope. If you strip all symbols, ld.so can't work any more (this did
dynamic linking!).

name style: when a new major-version number is introduced, it is
recommendet to get a new name. So they start calling libc6 as glibc.
libc.so.6 is VERY incompatible to libc.so.5! The crown is, that they allso
changed ld.so in incompatible (and idiotic) way.

Oh yes, and this is very tiny! SuSE 5.3 (the last libc.5 system from SuSE)
has a
1.820.369 - libc.so.5.4.46)
