I have a 80% port of Redhat 7.0 which is based on a fairly recent glibc.
It's running mostly solid for me and that also inludes things such as
threading and binary compatibility with glibc 2.0. I'm uploading the
glibc 2.1.95 now to oss.sgi.com:/pub/linux/mips/glibc/; the rest of the
distribution will follow in about two days. Not earlier for bandwidth
reasons, I'm on a 28k8 bps diet ;-)
Note, you will also need rpm4 to install these rpms. rpm3 will not install
rpm4 packages, therefore you need to untar the rpm4 binary tarballs first,
then use it to install the rpm4 package properly, then glibc.
Note it's still only a 32-bit library. The kernel is designed to be able
to run a 64-bit userland but we currently don't have the necessary support
for that in gas and glibc, just to mention the most important packages
that cannot yet support a 64-bit userland..
