I'm just dying to know. I've been seeing it a lot lately. I wanted to
keep all my old libraries up to date because I have some legacy
software. So I looked everywhere I could for the latest versions of
libc4 and libc5. I soon determined they were libc versions 4.7.6 and
5.4.46, but I still wasn't satisfied. So I searched for the latest
libc's in my favorite search engine (metacrawler), and came to a site
that had 5.4.46-2 and another that had 5.4.46-3 !! So, as you could
see, I'm baffled. In case you were wondering why I asked you, it's
because I didn't know who else to ask, and it has to do with something
vaguely related to Cygwin. Besides, I thought you could use a chuckle.
Thanks a lot,
Joe
P.S. If those aren't the latest versions of libc's, could you tell me?
