I generally agree with these proposals.
I've put chapter 2 now in the wiki.
2.15. After installing glibc name resolving doesn't work properly.
Not sure.
Remove, I think. nsswitch.conf is still relevant, but this isn't a FAQ
now; it's effectively a libc5-upgrade question (people will now have a
good nsswitch.conf).
2.37. When recompiling GCC, I get compilation errors in libstdc++.
Remove.
However, it may be useful to have a similar new question regarding the
siginfo_t changes and libgcc build failures - existing GCC releases
(predating Thomas's patches) won't build with current glibc because of
that.
I added this to the New entries section.
