For Brian and others who don't believe that prebuilt glibcs for all kind of CPU architectures really do exist, some URLs will follow, from a single archive alone first : ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/debian/pool/main/g/glibc ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/ ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/eldk/4.0/ ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/6 Debian has Linux ports for quite many CPU architectures, including ARM, MIPS, m68k, hppa, x86, ia64, x86_64, sparc, s390 and powerpc. Ubuntu has not for so many, ELDK has for ARM, MIPS and PPC and Fedora for x86, x86_64 and PPC. The Open SuSE 10.1 i586, x86_64 and PPC glibcs can be found for instance via : http://suse.inode.at/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/suse/ The Linux/FRV and Linux/AM33 toolchain distros can be found at least via : ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/linux/mirrors/redhat/redhat/gnupro The Linux/m32r and Linux/SH stuff can be found via : http://www.linux-m32r.org/ http://www.sh-linux.org/index.html For which CPU-variation of Linux one yet cannot find a prebuilt glibc to be used during bootstraping?
