Thanks,
I wasn't planning on replacing my current systems glibc, for else many things would break. :-)
I was planning for a glibc for a new system.
Crosstool is very nice, but it's only for older gcc's.

Just wanted to have a gcc and glibc that go well together for a new system.
Any thoughts upon that?
Kind Regards,

Reinoud.

I don't routinely build glibc, so I don't know.  Note that building a
new glibc to replace your system glibc is a job for experts; there are
many subtle issues.  Building a new glibc for a new system is something
handled well by crosstool (http://kegel.com/crosstool).
