Excellent, and thanks!  Mips just needs to have a build done and
tested (part of the build is a 'make check' run and it would be useful
to have the output of that).

Sparc I'm a little confused about, because BenC mentioned something or
other about a 64 bit compiler not being ported to gcc-3.2.  I haven't
been able to tell if that's a showstopper or not, though.  I guess
basically we just need to give it a try.

Checkout the 'glibc-package' module from Debian's CVS.  You'll also
need to fetch the glibc and linuxthreads tarball from
sources.redhat.com in pub/glibc/snapshots and trop them in the
toplevel directory.  The build will leave log files in the top
directory.  Grep the 'test' one for 'Error' - And hopefully tell us
that there aren't any! =)

If there's anything I can help you with on the way, please let me
know.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
