I compiled glibc 2.2.5 on my desktop and it installed perfectly over top 2.2.4
included in COL 3.1.1. After I made a tarball of the glibc compile directory
tree and burned it to a cdrom. Popping that cdrom into a laptop that is
architecturally similar... I was able to install 2.2.5 onto it. No bugs and no
problems.
