Slackware 8.1 has libgcc_s.so.1 but only libstdc++.so.4.0.0 (not 5.0).

Lynx would not download the MANIFEST (error uncompressing temporary file) 
but links2 would.

Slackware 9.0 has libstdc++.so.5.0.2.

Steven, if you add the gtk and gdk stuff and libXi does Seamonkey work for 
you with glibc 2.3.1 from Slackware 9.0?   And a 2.2 kernel.

If so, perhaps you could package the two dependencies from Slackware 9.0 
including glibc 2.3.1 libc libm and ld-linux.  The rest is found in 
Slackware 7.1.

In theory Seamonkey can be compiled against libstdc++ 2.9 (which Slackware 
7.1 even has).  I don't want to download 35MB source code to attempt it.

How do Firefox and Seamonkey compare in cpu and memory usage?
Seamonkey loads a lot faster than Firefox did before it broke.
ldd firefox-bin says it is not a dynamic executable.  What is it?
