The readme sure was informative, though. I didn't install
the et_dyn.tar.gz file - I wasn't in a hurry to attack glibc!

The xorg-6.8.2-libGL_PIC-1.patch fails to apply.
Here's the patch

But there seems to be extra code in there. Here's glapi_x86.S
Line 132----------------------------------------------------

Now it's all Greek to me, but they don't look like each other.
Of the Xorg-6.8.2 patches, only one hunk of the -nonow patch goes,
and that does little or nothing. I had to modify the gcc specs
file to get past -nonow in the X server.
Is the sky going to fall in because I have to compile with -nonow,
or -no-pie? Are these serious limitations?
