Good decision,
I have recently compiled half of the Rawhide-19991229 distribution
with gcc-2.95.2-3, running kernel-2.2.13-0.9 and using glibc-2.1.2-17
without problems. Please also forward the most recent .src.rpm
packages to RawHide.
Note:
- glibc still does not compile for i686: Complains on linux kernel
headerfiles. (It does with the Mandrake development distribution)
- util-linux omits several important binaries when compiled for i686, eg login.
- Anyone interested in the log (i386/i686/root/noroot) of compiling
RawHide from sources?
