Re: Powerpc-eabi, bootstrap compilers...

[Joe Sislow <flynn at cosmodog dot com>]

Well, what it turns out was going on was that my glibc stuff in /lib was version 2.2.2, and
I had installed 2.2.4 to /usr/local/lib.  So, I just set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
/usr/local/lib, and they all run just fine!  BTW, I avoided installing them to /usr as many
of the FAQ's on installing glibc said it might be a bad idea.

Thanks all!  You've been very helpful!
