Also, There isn't description about glibc. Updating glibc is a little non-trivial due to compatibility issues, extra patches requires, version dependencies to the build environment and other constraints so I deciede to drop the glibc documentation when I replaced the old MIPS Howto document with the current size. The good news are that the glibc world is getting somewhat simpler again so maybe it's time to re-introduce some glibc documentation. That said glibc will probably always stay somewhat non-trivial and most people are probably best off by just using binaries. Ralf
