compiling gnu libc (2.2.4)

[kevin diggs]

Hi,

I would like to recompile the libc (gnu libc 2.2.4) for an old Redhat
7.1 installation. The stock compiler for 7.1 is 2.96. I have
successfully built 3.4.6 and would like to use that. My concern is
finding libgcc and friends. I did an ldd on /lib/libc-2.2.4.so and it
only showed ld-linux.so.2. Does this mean that I might not need to
worry about these internal compiler libraries (i.e. what if I decide
to delete this compiler version)?

Thanks!
