I keep hearing about GLIBC. What's the difference between that and a normal LIBC?

My employers uses mSQL which, interestingly enough runs on Linux platforms, so I can recompile their big UN*X (Sun/HP/whatever) applications on this here 486DX/120 with Linux and have it doing precisely the same functions as on a big kick-ass Sparc Ultra.

Now that's portability!

Try doing that for Windows, but that's a different story and only lives on Intel and clones chips!

Cheers,
Alex
