May I ask please, where there is a list of:
a) distributions where glibc was built
b) the compilers used to build glibc on those distributions,
and versions of those compilers.
c) what configure flags were used, and what environment
was used.
And can you build glibc-2.3.4 out of the box on these distributions?
