I installed SW71 glibc, compiled a few things with it, then SW81 solibs in 
order to use Opera, and then ar would not work (binutils) and I could not 
compile.  I tried uninstalling both glibcs and it was still broken and 
whatever else I did only made it worse and I had to start from scratch.
I saved the old setup to test sound cards and it does not work with a few 
that I had marked working 'as sb' (not actually sb).

Are you suggesting that I uninstall glibc from SW81 then install solibs 
from SW91 then reinstall glibc from SW81 (or install from SW91, which is 
larger and therefore to be avoided if possible)?  Otherwise will solibs 
overwrite something important (header files?) in SW81 full glibc?

glibc?
