I've tried the slink-libc, and it gives me problems with the chown whenever
I try to use tar (tried to recompile tar as well).
The same thing works fine with both the 980705-snap (which I've built a
deb from), and with the redhat glibc2.1..
I've also experienced problems with gzip (with dpkg -i on certain files),
where the redhat gzip works fine (as does the redhat patches for gzip pasted
on top of the debian-source (which some mods due to conflicts between diffs)).
