I do not recommend Opera for a 75MHz system.

I do not recommend a glibc upgrade for a 75MHz
system. BL3 uses libc5 specifically for such
machines in order to get decent performance.
Clogging those machines with glibc defeats
the whole purpose.

It is bad advice to suggest to people with
slow computers that they should upgrade the
library and/or kernel. Yes, I know that a
kernel upgrade may be necessary for some
newer hardware (personally I avoid such
hardware). But a library upgrade is almost
always unjustified for such machines.

Cheers,
Steven
