No, and you can't build GCC packages without a glibc either. They're interdependent. I believe that you can not run glibc's configure script for the 64-bit packages without the 64-bit libraries involved. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
