I reported elsewhere that version 2.3.999.2-11 (glibc-2.4) seems to work
fine, and Uwe reported that libc6.1_2.5-1_alpha.deb is working also. If
for some reason people require glibc-2.3, they will have to retrieve the
sources for the stable package and apply the appropriate workaround patch
(for the defunct processes issue).
What I didn't report elsewhere was how long it took to do the complete
2.3.999.2-11 package build (in case anyone else is contemplating doing
this)... Eight hours on my PWS 433au (576 MB RAM) with the current
stable 4.1 compiler suite.
