Right. We should use the 1.0 tree for this - that ought to be our
development tree now.
I think we should rename the elf-libc package to libc5 and put it in
the 1.0 tree forthwith.
When we have a version of `libc' (the old a.out libc 4) that doesn't
get in its way we should make elf-libc use the standard directories.
Oh - and we should separate the development libc (the stubs, include
files, and so forth) from the runtime shared images.

Right, good :-).
