Installation problem with gcc 2.95

[Jean-Pierre Schwickerath]

I'm wondering what's going on between gcc and the glibc
'cause you need a patch to compile gcc 2.95 with glibc 2.2. and glibc 2.2
doesn't compile with the gcc 3 pre snapshots... 
I think there is some synchonizeing to be done in the next time....
