Ahh. And any old support isn't possible since it'd have to be built
against glibc2.1, which means glibc2.1 would have to be available for
woody, which it won't be since glibc2.2 is.
So has anyone started filing serious bugs against all those packages that
need a rebuild? A rough count [0] seems to indicate a fair number of packages
are affected:
alpha: 142
arm: 189
hurd-i386: 17
i386: 175
m68k: 260
mips: 5
powerpc: 195
sparc: 156
Cheers,
