Since glibc needs to be compiled against a kernel, and as a result that kernels header files needs to be used by other programs compiled/linked with glibc, then if a newer kernel is being released does it not also follow that the glibc package also be rebuilt against the new kernel and released at the same time? Guess this would also mean that all other packages would also have to be rebuilt ... and, This is begining to sound kinda like the chicken and the egg thing. Perhaps a better choice would be to isolate the kernel dependant parts of glibc into a seperate package and release that when ever the kernel is upgraded? Dave
