Re: libstdc++2.9-dev/libc6-dev incompatibility?

[Alec Smith <sweetin@ix.netcom.com>]

I have successfully built Linux 2.2.5 on a Debian 2.1 system, and so far
it appears the various utils work without updating to unstable. I've had
colleagues who have been running the 2.1/2.2 kernels under Slink give the
same reports. Debian 2.0 on the other hand probably has some compatability
problems with 2.2.x.
