I am trying to make a build environment on my Indy but have some
difficulties.

I tried that, but bash needs libncurses5 which is not in the archive
on master yet.

I am trying to build it myself now in the old environment but with the
gcc and binutils version 20001007 from rfc822.org. Hopefully this will
help to go into the chroot environment.

libc6 itself is in the archive, but libnss-db and libdb2 on which it
depends is nowhere to be found. I will try to build them as soon as I
manage to get the chroot runnung.
