As far as i know (Asked Ralf Baechle yesterday) the glibc 2.1 wouldnt
be a problem as soon as someone fixes binutils. AFAIK the symbol
versioning does NOT work currently ... We are stuck with glibc 2.0.
The current version i have is a glibc 2.0.6 ...
Yesterday i tried to build a xdevel but got signal 11 from the binutils
when compiling the libgcc from the gcc 2.95.2preX ...
It seems the binutils are essentially broken for mips/mipsel ...
