Just the libs, really.  Bash has libreadline and a new egcs needs to be
compiled (1.1.2), which is why I posted.  I just didn't see the need to
recompile alot of the current x86 packages for potato until I get the new
compiler and glibc uploaded (save us all some trouble and give everyone a
few days' rest...except me, of course ;-).

Also, obviously, anything that depends on alot of these libs probably
should be recompiled (if they don't outright need recompiling).
