I have been using UML (debian slink/woody) for my kernel compiles, but never been able to successfully compile userland stuff in either environments.
Since upgrading my workstastion to SUSE 9.2 my UML virtual machines won't start, and I'm beginning to tire of the complexity of all that. So I'm now looking at setting up a dedicated system for compilation/development. I have been looking at the "Develping and using LEAF in a virtual environment" howto at: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/bering/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=3&MMN_position=3:3 - to try to decide which base system to use. Being basically completely unfamiliar with Debian (and apt in particular), I'm thinking SuSE 7.3 or 8.x should be viable alternatives, as long as I manage to set it up with all the 'correct' versions of everything. Now, the above looks pretty dated, and while I'm aware that the development environment is pretty static, I'd still like to make sure I don't set up something that's completely outdated... So the questions are: Which versions of glibc, gcc, make, (other), should I have in such a system?
