Thanks for the tips.
But now I seem to have to setup a machine with an older versions of
ld-linux and libc but with the latest version of gcj otherwise on
slightly older machines you get:
./snark: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found (required by ./snark)
./snark: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not found (required by ./snark)
./snark: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by ./snark)
To bad staticly and/or shared glibc binaries are not really compatible
on different systems.

BTW. Why is this utility installed in such an obscure place? It seems
like a general useful thing to have.
