re: glibc patch needed on ppc for gcc >= 3.1 builds

[Jack Howarth <howarth@bromo.msbb.uc.edu>]

Ben,
   I forgot to mention that there should be no issues with
building glibc with the previous patches under gcc < 3.1
as long as binutils, 2.12.90.0.14-1, or newer is installed.
The libgcc-compat patch tickled a bug in binutils regarding
weak symbols...

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-07/msg00297.html

That has been fixed in the current binutils.
  I mention this so you know adding the libgcc-compat patch 
shouldn't impact building glibc 2.2.5 with gcc < 3.1
(for a woody build for example).
                            Jack
