I run zgv on debian. Which is on the same box as BL. And uses the
same chip, i810.

Where I  have both of those libraries.

It has been supported by X11 since 3.3.5.

And 3.3.6, which I use on debian, works very well.

Setting up the main source config file, host.def. Takes a lot of

Yes.

So far, I have compiled quite a few libc6 apps with it, and
all is fine. It already has most of what's on BL3.

I suspect those bugs involve multi-media apps that I'm not
interested in.
