Building glibc myself has gotten me in the predicament I'm currently in. Which is an installed glibc that allows my system to run fine, but as far as *compiling* anything, it's unusable. Makes it tough to test the development versions of GNUCash when I can't compile :-( So.. to answer the question regarding what RH 8.0 has that I need? Nothing that I can't get from Suse 8.1, Slackware 8.1, Mandrake 9.0 or *any* of the latest distro's available. A modern glibc and gcc... I think, though, that I'll stay away from RH 8.0 for the time being and see what shakes out over the next few weeks (besides, I'm hoping that installing a newer binutils will fix my compile problems...)
