I haven't find the time too look at it this week-end, maybe tomorrow. 
Currently it does not build, even in thread-less mode. Code has to be 
written either to support threads or to not support threads, so I choose 
the later.

Well my idea when creating glibc-2.3.5.diff is to be able to provide a 
patch for the Debian package. We could go back to two packages, but we 
have to come back to the .diff files sooner or later.

Then about the small bugfixes and the ET_DYN issues, AFAIK they are all 
fixed by glibc-2.3.5.diff, but not tested yet.

Bye,
Aurelien
