[bf1942] bfv server le duexieme essai

[Andreas Fredriksson]

I actually worked around the glibc-2.3 dependency by re-implementing the
ctype stuff that was introduced in 2.3 in terms of the
older __ctype stuff present in 2.2.4 and older to make the semi-static more
portable. It was a pain, and in the long run it won't
be an issue.
 
However right now I guess it's a good thing since it avoids forcing users
having to upgrade their rented servers and whatnot.

It's not THAT big of a deal, as we're used to upgrading kernels and whatnot
for andreas :)
However, it would be nice to see v1.0 run on the same platforms bf1942 1.6
runs on, (ie. I don't want to have to upgrade 60 game servers come Monday
morning ;)
So if making a set of binaries not using a later glibc is doable, that might
be preferred. A LOT of people will have trouble with this, im sure.

Wow, this needs Glibc 2.3? Anyone running debian, I believe you will need to
go to unstable for this. 


hmmm... i don't think it *needs* 2.3. its just what i happen to have on the
machine i'm building on (which was debian stable before i apt-got a new
compiler).
 
if this is a problem i can try to weed out the dynamic dependency and make
static more static
