Re: libc5

I believe there are packages for both redhat and debian for libc5 compiling.

I do (still) plan to make an easy compile environment package, but, it
doesn't exist yet.

Definitly gnu is not the place to start, libc5 was never a gnu thing, it was
purely a linux thing (though derived from gnu libc).

Unfortunately, I do not use redhat, so, I don't know where their
packages can be gotten...

There are lots of places to get libc5 canonically, such as:

http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/libs/

which includes the debian package I think.
