I found it usefull for some of the extended capabilities it added to
some of the standard library routines (ie. define your own conversion
specifications, write special purpose printf variants, and it's stream
handling).

I got it to work, but you need certain GNU tools.  Here's the GNU
tools I used:
	gcc-2.4.2
	grep-1.6 (Must have it, suns egrep loses)
	make-3.67 (You need at least make-3.66 do to new functionality used
			in glibc-1.06's make files)

And things to watch out for:
	* Make sure the GNU tools are earlier in your path then there sun 
		equivilents (using 'which', or 'type -a' the GNU ones
		should be the first ones listed).
	* Start with a VIRGIN build tree. (rm -fr glibc-1.06 and untar yourself
		a fresh copy)
	* Make sure when you do a 'make check' that your username is local to 
		the machine you are on.  glibc-1.06 does NOT do NIS.
	
	Hope it helps...
