I'm building xfree86-1. There is an additional patch that is needed
to fix a problem on the PCI UltraSparcs. There are binaries on my ftp
site, I will upload them to master as soon as I get a compatible
kernel uploaded.
The libc5 stuff compiled without incident for me.

Are you using an UltraSparc? Our libc5 ld-linux.so is not compatible
with Ultras.
