Thanks.  It turns out that I need a libc.so.6 to use the new glint.  I
looked on Sunsite and couldn't find the sources for glint...I was
hoping to recompile against my own libraries here.  I want to upgrade
to 5.x and I want to use glint to trim down my packages before I
upgrade.  So, any help or ideas ANYONE can give me to get glint to
work, I would sure appreciate it.

TIA!
