glibc-2.0.96 and sun4c


2.0.96 broke lots of things on my sun4c (kernel 2.1.119 from vger's cvs,
originally used redhat's 2.0.7 from rh-5.1).  This is the first glibc
snapshot that I have managed to compile, let alone run.

* Lots of binaries broke with "undefined symbol: __register_frame_info"
errors.  I suspect that RedHat built their binary glibc with gcc-2.8,
which means that people upgrading their systems from RH's 2.0.7 will have
problems.

* An init (sysvinit-2.75) compiled against the new library doesn't get
past reading rc.S ... "init: error reading initrequest".  I worked around
this by putting everything in rc.S for the time being.

* Processes don't ever exit ... when a sendmail child process is done, it
sticks around as a zombie.

2.0.96 was compiled with egcs-1.1b and binutils-2.9.1.
