What would be the responsibilities of said maintianer? The small fact that "uncomment the hppa-specific patch in 0list" means little to nothing to me ;) ... is probably an indication that I'm not experienced enough to take on glibc. Seeing as you are the current glibc maintainer, my question would be: What type of process do you follow for maintaining glibc? a) Kick machine until glibc works. b) Throw machines out window until glibc works. c) Wait. Glibc will fix itself. d) Who nees glibc? PARISC ASM! e) Stay up many hours extracting those pesky pieces that don't work with HPPA. Thanks for all the invaluable help Matthew! :} I promise to try and stop doing crazy things like building the toolchain by hand ;) Cheers, Carlos
