Yes, but it also includes an early glibc (2.07) as an option.

The one I compiled needs those two libraries.  I don't know about Karolis' 
version.  Maybe he managed to compile static against them with uclibc.

I could package the Slackware 8.1 libc and ld-linux with these other two 
libraries in about 2MB, if that would help.

Does pkg make the symlinks or only installpkg?
