Yes, the altgcc and altdev's will permit this "out of the box".

Yes.

You will need the -altdev packages for libc5 compiling. Then you prepend
"/usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin" to the path and gcc, make etc. will use the
altdev packages and link with libc5.

libc compatibility in Debian 2.0

1998-01-14 Thread Martin Jackson
Hey guys,

Most sincere apologies if this question has been asked already, but...

Will Debian 2.0 support compiling libc5 applications "out of the box?"  I am
curious because Red Hat decided not to support this...
