@hipsterelectron I'm looking and can't find a history!
this was late 1990s.
basically: linux had forked libc from GNU. glibc had gotten much better, so they went back to that. this turned out to be fraught. particulary for distro upgrades.
linux was still using a.out binaries so there was the transition to ELF mixed in there too.
there are bits here:
http://www.linux-m68k.org/faq/glibcinfo.html
https://lwn.net/Articles/417866/
https://www.svgalib.org/libc.html
anyway, this experience scarred everyone who ever dealt with it
@hipsterelectron@circumstances.run (this account) again? i think it will still be broken but i cancelled the redirect from the treehouse account and i would like to see if that avoids the issue
