Dunno about it, check with kernel hackers. However, if you need to
install a kernel from 2.1 to get it, do it on your own risk. Debian
now comes with kernel 2.0.30 (with 2.0.29 included).

Download "libc6" package (and, if you want to compile for glibc,
libc6-{dev,dbg}, gcc and other development packages) from hamm
(unstable) and install it on your 1.3.1 system, it will not break
anything. However, notice that all the packages in 1.3.1 are compiled
under and linked with linux libc 5, and if you want to re-compile it,
you'll have a hard time with some of them. Packages in hamm (those
which are not just symlinks to the same package on bo) are linked with
libc6.
