Hi,
How to run new Netscape ELF version in my old, a.out style
environment?

Have I rebuild my all compilers?
Can it be done by smartly installing new ELF libc ?

I am slightly sick of rebuilding system and replaceing binaries.
I did it many times, but there is a limit. I don't want to do it
before I will buy a new Pentium PRO board.

I have now Linux 1.2.0 with 2.5.8 compiler and with additionally
installed Motif 2.0 stuff.

Thanks in advance.
Andre

There is a faq somewhere about adding ELF support.  If you want to build
your own libraries, you will need to make sure that you have a verison of
gcc that supports ELF, but you can probably just get binary distributions.
You also need to make sure you have a dynamic linker that supports ELF.  I
don't know what versions do.  This is all available on tsx-11 in the
pub/linux/packages/gcc directory

I did it that way, and thanx to the ELF-howto's author it worked fine.
