asciilifeform: (i.e. a box where gcc was built on glibc)
asciilifeform: it is the way it is because it was actually the only way to get a repeatable and musltronic binary built on a heathen box.

asciilifeform: evil is repelled by determined hands, of actual people, pouring boiling oil every single motherfucking time on rogervers, gavins, AND the horses they ride in on.
asciilifeform: they aren't flocking to trb, or mpex, etc.
asciilifeform: do you know of any constructive, salvageable item covered in roger vers ?
