Hi every body,

I really need this feature, I want to debug in the libc macro. I don t know if 
there is a need to do a special package. Basically I just tried to compile my 
one package, but each time, it takes ages, and it never finished the 
compilation, because there was no space left on the disk. I bet it does not 
compile only one package, but various packages for various architectures. So 
if there is no package made, I would like to have a link on a documentation on 
how to compile properly the libc6 package on a debian...
