>Description:
	The above environment information is all wrong: I didn't build
	glibc-2.0.95 just now, but when it came out :-)
>How-To-Repeat:
	run glibcbug
>Fix:
        I'd suggest to squirrel away the information given when building,
	and save as, e.g. $(exec_prefix)/glibcbug-$(version), and make
	$(exec_prefix)/glibcbug a symlink to this one. For linux (and other)
	experimental systems it might also be worthwile to state the
	environment when run.
