reboot afterward. This minimizes the risk of breaking things when the

The GNU C library can only be compiled with the GNU C compiler
family. As of the 2.1 release, EGCS 1.0.3 or higher is required.
GCC 2.8.1 can also be used (but see the FAQ for reasons why you

You can use whatever compiler you like to compile programs that
use GNU libc, but be aware that both GCC 2.7 and 2.8 have bugs in
their floating-point support that may be triggered by the math
library.
On Alpha machines you need at least EGCS 1.1.1. Earlier versions
don't work reliably.
For PPC you might need some patches even on top of the last EGCS

The quality of binutils releases has varied a bit recently. The
