The problem before that was that using the kernel headers for userland was
a serious problem.

Definately no entire distribution, I'm also not sure if I actually did
publish a fixed libc due to another binutils related issue. I'm about to
jump into a plane but could you take a look at
pub/linux/mips/redhat/manhattan/RedHat/RPMS/glibc-2.0.6-4.mipseb.rpm
