I have been working on a PPC binutils bug related to egcs. I want to
install glibc 2.1/egcs 1.1.1 on PPC running glibc 1.99 to check it
out. It looks like I am out of luck. Well, I guess, I have to wait
until the new glibc 2.1 based Linux/PPC is released to fix the PPC
bug. In the meantime, I will make a new binutils for Linux and warn
Linux/PPC not to use it.
