Just a note to one thing where this doesn't work: Some programs use -I/usr/include/bsd on the command line to get BSD behaviour for certain stuff, e.g. signal handling. But that directory doesn't exist anymore if libc6-dev is installed. This is no problem with libc6 itself, since BSD signals are default there, but SysV semantics are default for libc5. If you now compile such a program with i486-linuxlibc1-gcc, no headers in /usr/include/bsd are found (they're in /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/include/bsd ...) and you get the wrong signal semantics. Just a note, but already happened ... :-) Roman -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
