Appairently it won't even compile under gcc 2.7.2.x. The other thing is that isn't glibc 2.1 currently pulled E.G. not on the gnu FTP sites due to licensing issues. Wouldn't it be prudent to wait until glibc 2.1 is put back before releasing a package? If The license violation was serious enough for the glibc folks to pull it, it would probably violate Debian's licensing policy as well.
