Re: [PATCH] Updated glibc-gcc3.patch

As you can see, I've applied the patch now.  But I changed quite a bit
before that.  No file should be added if the minimum ABI is 2.2.5 or
later.  I don't see why a strange version name like GCC_3.0 should be
used so that is changed as well.  Also, the configure code must assume
that by default the compatibilty stuff is not needed; platforms must
explicitly enable it.

I've build and tested the code on x86 now.  This works but I have not
done any testing of the code using binaries from the system.  I'll try
compiling with gcc3 next.

I have no doubt that during the changes I've made I introduced the one
of the other problem for various architectures.  So everybody should
try to build glibc on her/his favourite platform.  And also perform
compatiblity testing.


Now that this patch is in cutting the stable branch is next and then
very soon after a 2.2.5 release.
