Re: GNOME vs GNU gcc & glibc

 I am using the latest Slackware (3.6), where gcc-2.7.2.3 and libc5.4.46
 are installed. You referred to glibc-devel, so I guess you are using 
 glibc-2.1 instead of libc5. If glibc-2.1 is strictly needed, then
 I have to give up with that tar-ball until either it will be
 rewritten for a less demanding libc, or the kernel will adopt glibc
 and gcc will be able to use it. The forthcoming Slackware 4.0 will
 have glibc-2.1, it seems.

 Cheers,
 Sergio
