The German edition of SuSE-6.0, I received some days before Christmas, is based on * glibc-2.0.7pre6 * egcs-1.1.1 * linux-2.0.36
Most of the binary rpms are compiled against this setup (2.0.36!!).
Many of the sources-rpms are rather recent versions - most of them are recent enough for 2.2.X. Some of the essential ones are too old, however (e.g SuSE still uses modutils-2.1.85). After upgrading to 2.2.0 requirements and fixing several nasty tiny bugs (6.*0* :-), I've finally been able to run kernels > 2.1.131 on top of SuSE-6.0 more or less stable. There still are some issues, some of them are SuSE-specific, some of them glibc/egcs/2.2.X related - Does that count as 2.2-ready?
