Er, perhaps in the commit message for the port (the only place I
announced it, conditional on the not-yet-committed linux_lib-2.4 port),
or perhaps in the port's Makefile where it specifically checks for
the libc that's needed?

You will note that the Makefile for the port only checks the libc
version; if there were other requirements, they'd be checked too.
There's even a _comment_ there explaining the requirement!

I don't know that there's a lot more that I can do under the
circumstances.  Coming around and holding peoples' hands is a bit out
of the question, particularly when they have been explicitly informed
that they are jumping the gun. 8)
