Michael Hasenstein explained it already very good yesterday on
this list. The glibc is a core component, much more important
then the kernel (It is esay to boot another kernel, but you
cannot boot another libc). All of our architectures bases on the
same source code, so we will not change the glibc for PPC after
Intel is released. And in the short time it is not possible to
make all the tests we did already the last month.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
