Hi,
   I've got a couple of questions about compiling glibc2 for my system.  I
have the RedHat 5.1 glibc-2.0.7 rpms installed on my system now, but I'd
like to recompile the library to hopefully spped it up, and to get
debugging info in it by default.  My questions are these:

  First, if I use the -malign options with pgcc,  I think I remember
reading somewhere that I'd have to recompile everything that uses the
library with the same -malign options.  That would be a chore and a half.

  Secondly, since I can't seem to find sources for glibc 2.0.7, are there
any foreseeable problems with downgrading to 2.0.6?

  Thirdly, on an unrelated note.  Someone said earlier that the most
recent snapshots miscompile the kernel.  Is that the same bug in ioport.c
that was fixed earlier, or is it more bad code in ther kernel?  pgcc 1.1.1
will still compile the kernel properly though, correct?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Chris
