The problem is that with the latest glibc, the system doesn't boot anymore.
Userspace programs (tested with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and using the new linker)
seem to run fine, but at boot time when the server are started, it prints
"exec init" and hangs.

Jeff saw that, too.

I could get an older glibc version and back-port the patch.

Thanks,
Marcus
