It isn't that bad anymore, you can run quite a lot of applications compiled for glibc 2.2 on 2.1 systems. Just run ldd -v on an application on a glibc 2.2 system. There is not often GLIBC_2.2 mentioned. But if it is there is a good reason. > The alternative is pthread applications in 2.2 may fail silently due > to wrong functions being used. That is what has to be avoided. -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------
