[tex-live] Question concerning libc and i386-linux binaries

Hi!

Which libc is used on the systems which builds the binaries for i386-linux?
It looks that they do not run anymore on my old old discless clients with
libc-2.0.X?

This is a general question: I have problems building alpha-linux
binaries for alpha-linux-glibc-2.1 but I could easily build for glibc-2.2.

How to go on with this?

Best wishes

Norbert

	precisely the same reasons.
