Mike, Kai's intent might be a bit unclear owing to the language barrier, and
he often expresses his meaning through sarcasm, but he does actually know what
he's talking about, and he does have a pretty important point to make: that,
if you already have a prebuilt binary glibc for your target, building a new
one from source is not just a waste of time, but potentially a source of bugs
or very subtle and hard-to-track incompatibilities, since it might not come
out /quite/ the same as the old one. This issue is very important for people
working with standard engineering practices that emphasis stability,
reliability and careful management of change control.
