Aha!  Very good, I had thought I needed to rebuild an entire glibc-2.1
in order to get this, but I'll just try grabbing it from a RH62
compatible set of libraries. Nice tip, thanks!

I'm actually going to do the same -- try and build a 2.4.18 kernel with
ext3 and 'emlog' support.  I am going to start that today, trying to
figure out how to get it to integrate into peeweelinux build system
(anyone have any pointers?)

We're workin on it!  Right now we're trying different JDKs (sorta),
there's this nifty micro-java called 'Wonka' that's being tested by the
coding crew.  But, if I can get that libnsl working, maybe we can go
back to IBM JDK 1.3 instead....
