Have you found a need/user for this upgraded library other than for qemu?
Does linuxpackages.net have things compiled for Slackware 9.0 that it does 
not have for 8.1.

The problem with downloading this solibs is that then I could not compile 
without also downloading the 14MB full glibc for SW91.

Can I put back 2.2.5 from SW8.1 by simply doing a send/receive from the 
computer that was not upgraded, then deleting anything with 2.3.2 or 2.3.5 
from /lib?
