No, but I am in the free world and can do it. I don't havemuch time, though,
so if you can try to compile it and fix all problems, mailing a patch to me
should be okay (as long as it doesn't touch the crypto stuff, which it
shouldn't). Recompiling and uploading is ok for me.

no, we are just not ABI compatible yet, so we won't pretend it by using same
soname. We will switch to the same soname convention as soon as we have the
missing stuff (like pthreads) in place.

Seriously, libc6 should be glibc2 really.

Thanks,
