More musings - I just got as far as compiling new libs, and as soon as
libc.so.12.26 is installed into /usr/lib things cease to work, eg. the
next line
install ...btree3... gets
Data abort: 'Permission error (page' status = 00f address = 29 PC = 10027b24
Process = 0xf159e000 pid = 13709 comm = install
CPSR=60000013 Traceback info (frame=0xf29c4fb8)
fp->lr=f00a5a6c fp->pc=f00ae3f0
fp->lr=f00a4554 fp->pc=f00a54b4
Trapframe PC = 10027b24
Trapfram SPSR = 60000010
*** Signal 11
or
# make install
make: No such file or directory.
This is all fixed by rm /usr/lib/libc.so.12.26 ... is this the compiler
striking again?

Cheers,

Patrick
