Ok...I have a tarball of dpkg that is compiled WITHOUT the lchown stuff,
if anyone's interested (which I know there are many at this point). I'll
post it on beezer.med.miami.edu in /pub/chris/dpkg-chown today.
That should get you started in the right direction. Now, on to glibc.
Probably it's best to run a devel kernel instead of a patched 2.0.x kernel
(I'm running 2.1.117 without a problem thusfar). It will handle the
lchown() problem easily :-)
