Newer glibc versions on mipsel (and mips as well) unfortunately
require current (as in >=2.4.19 for mipsel IIRC) kernels to work.
With 2.4.18 it is impossible to run sarge or sid.
You have not stated which kind of hardware you use, but from the
kernel version you have I guess it is some Cobalt system. You can use
2.4.24 from the Linux/MIPS CVS (2.4.25 should probably work as well)
plus the Cobalt patches from http://www.colonel-panic.org/.
With these patches and IDE DMA enabled we have found the kernel to
work quite stable on a Qube2.
