Hi.
Big general question for everyone, we now have 3 versions of glibc (not 
counting eglibc).
The only reason for keeping 2.21 is sparc (< v9) support, which i think 
doesn't make sense.
The case for eglibc is somewhat similar, it's support for SPE FPU (e500*).
Both are covered by uclibc so i think we could retire them.
Regards.

Agreed. If glibc no longer supports sparc < v9 and doesn't support SPE
FPUs, then it's an upstream issue, and we shouldn't keep old stuff
around because of this. People interested by those features should get
involve with upstream.

So: +1 to remove eglibc, and get rid of glibc 2.21, to keep only 2.22
and 2.23.

Thanks!

Thomas
