Installing Kylix on Debian Potato



Borland's pre-install checkup program (borlandpretest) can only find one
problem with my setup to install Kylix.

The glibc loader apparently has a bug but they don't provide a patch for
this.

Here's a description of the problem in their own words:

-- Some versions of the glibc loader can cause data corruption 
   during the dynamic loading and unloading of shared objects. 
   The result can be spontaneous segmentation faults in unrelated
   programs. Kylix is particularly sensitive to this issue, and
   will not install if that version of libc is present. This has
   been reported to glibc's maintainers, who have incorporated a fix
   in glibc 2.2. Systems that cannot upgrade to glibc 2.2 require
   a patched version of glibc 2.1.2 or later.

Any idea where I can find this patch or download a patched version of
glibc 2.1.3?
