[Clfs-support] clfs, eglibc and gcc question

[bvl]

Greetings,

I have been using clfs (amd64 CPU's pure64 bit)  for 5/6 years now.  I need 
nfs4  with gssd /rpcbind and  in my last build  (currentl clfs development)    
this failed to work.  I tentatively tracked this down to eglibc-2.15  as  
rpcbind /nfs4/glibc  currently have some 'development issues'   I urgently 
need to upgrade to eglibc-2.16  if only to prove that nfs4 now works  or not 
work.  I also think it migh well be worth while upgrading from gcc-4.6.3  to 
gcc-4.7.2.  Therefore these are my questions:-

a) are pure 64bit (amd64 cpu) clfs patches available for gcc-4.7.2 ?
b) are appropriate clfs patches available for eglibc-2.16 and if not can clfs 
be built  with eglibc-2.15 without patches.?

Thanks in advance
