I understand why you think it's bad. ld-linux.so.2 is as 'the only one',
we don't include it for optimization package.
BTW, i586/i686 does not work, many apps gets segv with -opt package
(I'm investigating).
I think releasing glibc 2.3.1 without -opt is the most important
matter, and releasing -opt (for i586/i686/alpha/sparcv9/hurd-i*/
mips/...) is the next item.
Dropping -opt for the first glibc 2.3.1 package is the good direction
for me. Any comments are welcome!
