Well, here goes again ;-).  I posted these groups a while back on 
using ANSI libraries and header files with gcc on a Sparc.  The
response I got was to get the GNU C libraries which can be built and
used on the Sparc.  Fine.  I did.  I downloaded both the glibc-1.02
and glibc-1.03 packages from uunet.  glibc-1.02 built had problems building
(errors in some assembler files, and when installing it would crap out on
the zoneinfo portion).  I did get it built, but when I made the tests,
some things appeared broken (strtod, atof, pow - all interdependent).  Hence 
the reason for grabbing glibc-1.03.  The assembler problem seemed fixed, but
the problem with installing zoneinfo was still there, as well as the fact that
when I made the tests, they all dump core.  The documentation states that it
has been ported to Sparc, but is very sparce documentation (nothing mentioned
about doing a "make test" for example).  I have sent a mail message to the
"bugs" address mentioned in the doc for some help, but have heard nothing 
as of yet.  

Now, after all of this... Is there anyone out there that has 
gotten this package, installed it on their Sparc(s) and is using it now?
If so, I'd like to bounce some items off that person in hopes of getting mine
up and running, or get his/her "cheatnotes" on everything done to get it up
and working.  Please email (or post if you have to - I'll try to read daily).
By the way, my package was compiled with tools that came on the GNU language
tape (gcc 1.40, gcc-ld, gcc-as).

Thanks in advance!
