libc6 programs on a bo system?
What's a good way to run libc6 programs on a bo system? I have yet to
be able to accomplish this feat nicely. I often run into problems
with the utmp database -- logins not being recorded or analysis
programs crashing. The compiler doesn't work anymore because
libc5-dev apparently conflicts with libc6 or something, so to even get
basic header files like stdio.h, one must install libc6-dev. Then I
must install libc5-altdev to be able to compile for libc5, but there
are no instructions in that package describing how to use it.
So this leaves me in the position that I can compile my packages for
libc6 on my 486 but I cannot test them. I dislike this.
