I still see only 3 in the debian linux-source-2.6.22-1 package.
so I assume that this is not being kept up to date, and I should
get my source from linux-m68k cvs ???

also I would like to know status of libc2.6 and if there are any
experimental versions around -- that is if it would be any help.
I am holding my gcc and binutils with the 4.1.12 gcc i built a few
weeks ago with crosss compiler, but i am upgrading everything
else to try and track sid in parallel both one quadra and one powermac.
that way i can get some comparison if a bug try same package on
another arch.
