I've tried both.

Do you maybe have a lower end sun4m like an ss5 or LX to try on? I'm
using an LX.

You can if you want, use the new glibc since binaries compiled on it
work fine with the older glibc >=2.0.99. In fact will be better that we
do start compiling with this once the issues are worked out.

I'm not familiar with the X build, but if you send me the patches I
will try to get it done.
