Actually, it was discontinued after 'bo'.

The problem is that the tools to build it don't work any more. I experimented
with this just before hamm's release; it appeared that the command line
switches for various tools like the library building tools had changed.
Goodness knows why somebody would have changed those switches when libc4
was already obselete, and not updated libc4 at the same time.

It's in Debian's old source format too. It's a big job to get it working
again, and hardly worth the effort. It's safe to just dump the libraries
in /lib or /usr/local/lib.
