[Starkit] linux distro choice

[Jean-Claude Wippler]

Steve Landers just told me that my latest tclkit 8.4.13 builds (both  
dyn & static) are "too recent" for his purposes (these binaries even  
have the nerve to call his kernel "too old"!).

So now I have two questions:

1) Could someone please confirm that tclkit at least works fine on  
Linux x86 when built with the latest genkit & tars?

2) Could someone please offer some advice as to which Linux x86  
distribution I should set up here to build a better tclkit binary on,  
i.e. one which has a reasonable chance of working on a common range  
of Linux distributions out there?  It's primarily a -lc and -lstdc++  
version choice issue I think.

If we can't come up with a good way out, then I'm afraid that tclkit  
will end up no longer having a general binary on Linux.  It'll be  
back to "just build your own".  Which would kill the whole point of  
starkits & starpacks on Linux, IMO.
