Rosegarden compiled for libc6, on BL3 with glibc 2.2.5 upgrade, complains 
about libX11.so.6.  This and libSM are uclibc.   I have already replaced
the other X libraries with libc6 versions (probably glibc 2.2.5) so it is 
probably the uclibc libraries which are missing something (because they
are too old or because uclibc is not as complete as the other libc's).

The xfree86 site has binaries for Xfree86 3.3.6 (367K Xlib) and 4.0 for 
glibc 2.0 and 2.1 but not libc5.  4.1-4.4 has glibc 2.0-2.3 (4.4 is 861K 
glibc 2.2.)

For Xfree86 4.5-4.7 it has Xlib.tgz for libc5 and glibc 2.0-2.4.
(libc5 4.7 is 876K).

There is not much size difference between libc5 and glibc 2.1, but
Xfree 3.3.6 is much smaller than 4.X - maybe smaller libraries or
fewer of them.

Steven, should I try replacing all the X libraries with libc5 versions of 
4.5 or 
4.7, or with glibc 2.0 or 2.1 versions of 3.3.6 or 4.4?  What might it 
break in BL3.5 if I used glibc instead of libc5 X libraries?  MGP?  I 
already have glibc 2.2.5 installed and need it for Rosegarden libc6 (libc5 
version won't work).
