[Peeweelinux-devel] Re: Moving Peewee to the 2.4 series - suggestions ?

[Mark Meade]

Delaney,

My apologies for misunderstanding your question.  I wasn't sure if you meant
just the kernel, or all of the packages, libraries, etc.

I certainly understand the need to update to 2.4 kernels, but it's not
completely obvious to me why the latest revisions of gcc/glibc are
important.  I've been using the glibc 2.1.x compatibility packages (under
Redhat 7.2) for development, and I haven't come across any problems so far.

Am I missing something?  Do the latest versions offer any major advantages
for embedded systems development?

Regards,

Mark
