I need a Linux ghc 6.2.1 built with glibc-2.4. The existing 6.2.1 RPM, built with glibc-2.3, works mostly OK, but with some programs, the generated executables barf and die on startup. Any suggestions on how to create such a beast?

Does it have to be linked against glibc-2.4? If so, how about bootstrapped (ie rebuilding) off a 6.2.1 binary/rpm? eg from http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_621.html or http://haskell.org/fedora/haskell/3/i386/ (there is also ghc622 under ../../4/). Jens
