I upgraded my workstation to a few potato packages, including the 2.1 libc

I would appreciate knowing what broke.
The current CVS version of samba doesn't compile with this libc. The
configure scripts recognize stat64, readdir64 et. al, but compilation, using
the dirent64 struct fails, so either autoconf or the code is wrong.
I would ask if it compiles on any other platform with LFS, it is
possible glibc 2.1 has bugs in its LFS implementation.
Also NR_OPEN does not exist as a define, although the source includes
limits.h
NR_OPEN is a kernel define, AFAIK. The glibc 2.1 equivalent is
OPEN_MAX, however glibc 2.1 does not define a static constant for it,
it seems it expects programs to use sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) at runtime.
The glibc documentation for sysconf (`info libc sysconf') suggests
checking for a macro definition first and calling sysconf if the
macro is not defined.
Is it possible to downgrade to the libc 2.0 development system again or do I
need to switch to another computer?
If you didn't do a full upgrade, it should be fairly easy, if not, it
can be a bit difficult.
