2.0.7 is filling my mailfolders with obscure bug reports. Seems like
nobody is bothering to keep it updated with any kind of bug fixes.

Cvs on oss should be equivalent to glibc-2.0.6-5lm.src.rpm which is the
version which I'm still recommending for now. Don't use -6lm, it's
broken.

A pre-2.2 snapshot. Not yet stable and requires a binutils snapshot to
build which also isn't yet stable. But we're getting closer and things
are beginning to look promising.
