What does this mean "went glibc"? Debian hasn't released a glibc
distribution yet (you can download it, but it's technically not yet
released -- no official cdroms yet).
Existing practice should be treated with at least as much respect as
an obsolete standard, by the way. If llseek is undesirable, it should
be along the lines of gets and getwd.. declare it obsolete and issue a
warning at link time, drop it entirely in some future version.
That said, it's not been glibc, as such, that's been holding back debian
-- getting everything else working reasonably. [Debian is probably going
to move to an "incremental release" sort of a system, which (if it had
been in place in the past) would have resulted in a number of releases
which were a mix of libc5 and libc6. Debian is pretty good, but it
doesn't matter if most people prefer to use something else only because
they need the newer software.]
