	Has anyone used gnu libc.a to recompile the Unix distribution in
386BSD? I would like to know of any problems in compatibility or difficulties
that people have encountered. 

	I am considering using the GNU libc to generate a 4.3bsd libc for
the MIPS R3000/2000 platform based on the Mach 3.0 UX39 Unix server. If
there are problems w/ the i386 - which uses mostly platform independent code,
then I want to anticipate them for MIPS.
