the errors w/tsort are perfectly normal...

how much RAM do you have in your system?

my system (486DX-50, 16M ram) took about 1/2 hour to compile libc
from scratch, including doing the man pages.

from "time make" in /usr/src/lib/libc:
943.8u 730.1s 31:21.72 88.9% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

also, re: it being 11k larger:

i could believe it.

the ones i just compiled:
-rw-r--r--    1 root       264602 Nov 18 19:12 obj/libc.a
-rw-r--r--    1 root       323810 Nov 18 19:20 obj/libc_p.a


and i know that these work, because i've compiled libc before, and the
recompiled libc is used in things like, say, login... 8-)


good luck,

Chris
