That's what I want to do, but downgrading them is difficult.

Using Alejandro's advice, I was able to get a package list with gcc2
and glibc22.

But after the bootstrap stage 0, the second compile of binutils and
gcc failed with undefined references (to libc.so.6 I think; I'm not
sure, since I've wiped that out now).

Then I tried again, specifying a cross architecture compile. The
compile worked that way, and I got a successful build with gcc2 and
glibc22. But the package selection was very minimal, not enough to
produce a working system, so I did not know how to proceed with it.

Then I tried installing 1.4 and building from it. But that failed due
to some missing symlinks in the cross tools.

I think now I will try again with the cross architecture compile and
see if I can add packages and maybe get a bootable system.
