I still not able to compile libc.

So I try a trick. I use alien from debmake package
to convert libc-5.3-12.rpm from redhat into a .deb

Some hacks and everything seems to went well.

I install libc-5.3-12.deb on my machine, without any crash
or unfunctionality. There are someone who want to try
this package? 

You can find it, with some other .deb packages for
sparc that I haven't try, via anonymous ftp
on test.dei.unipd.it:/pub/debian

sorry but I'm not able to put it on master.debian.org,
because my connection is too slow

thanks very much

bye
