still persisting issue with Opera (10) version on PPC Linux, Debian (based) distribution

Hello,

I have pointed out several times in the past, that for PPC Linux there  
is a wrong dependency of glibc 2.4 in the versions labeled as usable  
for Debian Etch and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. These are still using glibc 2.3,  
so your glibc 2.4 linked versions will run on Debian Lenny, but no  
more on the still supported Debian Etch. If you can't believe, please  
double check the Debian online repository to verify the glibc version  
used by the different Debian distributions. In this regard Debian 4.0  
Etch is resembling more Debian 3.1 Sarge, than to its successor Debian  
5.0 Lenny.

On the other hand you don't need to build with gcc 3, Debian Etch has  
still a gcc 4.1 version on board. But because there is no other  
version (also not in tar kind file), there is currently no chance to  
run Opera 10 on Debian Etch PPC.

Please either link correctly against glibc 2.3 or make a fully static  
version of it.

Thanks in advance, Stefan Urbat, longtime user of Opera on more seldom  
used Unix (kind) platforms like Solaris, PPC Linux or Mac OS X.
