Well I now have a recompile of the glibc 2.1.1 libs using the egcs 1.1.2 where I modified 2 lines to remove the WEAK symbol of __register_frame_info. The symbol is still defined, but now I can compile apps on the new lib and they still run on a glibc 2.0.105 system so the shlibdeps are now >=2.0.105. The egcs 1.1.2 and glibc 2.1.1 are at: http://master.debian.org/~bcollins/glibc/ Please test this out now (sun4m better have a 2.2.5+cvs or better kernel). Also try compiling programs and testing them on RedHat sparc systems.
