<DIV>Ken, Joe,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>glibc on the target system is 2.1.3. It's (libc's) version herald states linuxthreads-0.8. I do have rpm packages for binutils, glib, and gcc of the versions used to build the target system, so my next effort is to attempt to build a cross compiler environment of those packages. I will use either RH 7.2 or a slightly later version of RH to try to build, and I will use as much of the clfs procedure as possible.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks again, Anthony Drake</DIV>
