That could explain it, but I have built and compiled packages under libc5
without any problems in the past. I cannot accept that memory requirements
have increased to that extent in glibc2 such that a machine with 32MB of
RAM and a swap file of 26MB cannot do things that it did previously. :o(
If that is the issue here, that is *unacceptable*. I do not want to throw
away lots of money just to upgrade the machine so it can do things
successfully. I'm not made of money.
Cross posted to both Kernel/glibc mailing lists for comments.
Cheers,
Alex
