I couldn't get the 5.2.18 libc to work correctly with Linux!  I 
downloaded it because the Java SDK needed it, then I discovered that 
common programs like make and bash weren't working correctly anymore!!

Typical Linux mismanagement, just what I've come to expect from that OS..
So if that libc doesn't work with FreeBSD's ELF emulation, don't blame it 
on FreeBSD, you'll probably want to stick with 5.0.9 until whatever bugs 
are in 5.2.18 get resolved.
