I am trying to set up a backwards compatible library system on my new setup
to see if I can port to earlier versions using the existing system.  If it
works then it'll save a ton of hassel at this end.  I already have c++ libs
covered and am looking to sneak in glibc-2.2.5 and try compiling for that.

Yep.

Sounds interesting.  I am waiting to hear back from a FreeBSD user and see
if he is willing to give that a shot.  I emailed him yesterday but still no
word back.

Life is good,
