heck afaik java is written in C.
Thats explain why Azureus fail to start in my year 2038 experiment.

No, it automagically builds itself using assembly language.

That means everything would have to be recompiled against the new glibc wouldn't it? Or do I have the wrong idea?

exactly. this is no problem for opensource software under maintaince/developement. the only problem that may appear is old closed-source software that cannot be recompiled against new lib. (for example loki games or other closed source software)

it wouldnt be too complex to implement, and is probably a 2.7 sorta thing.
