can someone clue me in on what the GLIBC version problems are ? Ie, what
are you trying to fix that didn't work out of the box ?

(Keep in mind that rh80 is probably the worst platform to be building
packages on; the bugs in that rpm version were the worst).

There's mach-devel at lists.sourceforge.net

I don't know about the patch.  As a general solution it looks wrong,
since it's host-specific.  But I'd like to know about the discussion
before this and the actual problem you're trying to solve here.
