Taki mały fragment dla tych co boją się gcc 3.2 (nest):

 From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper w redhat.com>
 Subject: first test release for glibc 2.3 (2.2.91)

[...]

I've uploaded

   glibc-2.2.91.tar.bz2
   glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.91.tar.bz2

to

   sources.redhat.com:/sourceware/ftp/anonftp/pub/glibc/snapshots

These files contain the first test release for glibc 2.3.  There are no 
diffs as they would be unreasonably large.  I also stopped uploading 
gzip-compressed files.  Let's save bandwidth.


The news for this release can be read in the NEWS file.  It's mainly a 
release to improve performance.

To build glibc 2.2.91 you have to use gcc 3.2 and very recent, on some 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
platforms even patched, binutils.  Releases build in HJ Lu's 2.13.90.0.2 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
release (or latter) seem to work.  Part of what this test release should 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
achieve is to find out which tools work.  Do not use gcc 3.3 and no 
earlier binutils versions.
