I just completed tricking the IBM XL compilers to install in Gentoo with a |
2 |
multilb environment, glibc-2.3.6 and gcc-4.1.0. I haven't done much testing |

4 |
but things seem to be working. |

dealing |

13 |
how by then, I threw it on our blog. Check it out if you're interested, but |
14 |
note that this is the first time I've ever posted anything like a how-to |
15 |
publicly. |
