Could you also mention that on the news page? People already believe
the project is dead because nobody writes stupid web docs ...

No.
Heavens, I don't know why this thing built at all for you but this package
neither supports MIPS nor is it required. The program interpreter (aka
dynamic linker) for GNU libc is packaged in GNU libc. I suggest removing
this package from our source trees.

At least some of these will build if you install Linux 2.0 header files
and the X stuff of which tarballs are online. It's one of the cheats I
never published ... I'm using the headerfiles of my Cobalt Qube kernel for
this purpose. They should have newer kernel source rpms on ftp by now, I
think.
