We don't ship libc's that are different then HJ's. This consensus among
distribution makers is one of the few things that keeps Linux binaries
compatible across distributions. I'm more interested in working with
all of the binaries constantly updated to sunsite then with every version
of Netscape (esp when there are workarounds for Netsacpe).

I'll look at these scripts -- I don't remember seeing these earlier (probably
my fault I missed them though).
