Regretful demise?
RedHat 5.0 is based on glibc 2.0.x. Sparc support wasn't put into glibc
until glibc 2.1.x which is the development version. The RedHat sparc guys
are backporting the sparc stuff to glibc 2.0.x but have been delayed.
Remember that Alpha has always used glibc and that Intel support was in
glibc 2.0.x from the outset.
