Unfortunatly, shy of compiling your own libc6 kit, the only way to install
the libc6 development tools is to purge the current libc5-dev and other
- -dev packages from your system. Then you need to use altgcc and the
various -altdev packages to continue to compile libc5 stuff. It isn't
really that hard, just involves adding /usr/i486-linuxlibc5/bin to the
front of your path if you want to invoke the libc5 compiler (libc6 is
stable as far as I can tell, although there are some minor differences
that need to be accounted for).
To get started with libc6, read my libc5-libc6 Mini-HOWTO which I'll post
here and on debian-user again in just a few minutes.
