Yes, glibc-2.4 is the currently released version.  However, I don't
know how long it will take to produce a new Aldor compiler.  My hope
is that when it is released it will work with the most recently
released glibc (maybe 2.4, if it is soon, or higher it takes at least
six months).

Is there any reason to believe that there need to be two different
versions: one for glibc-2.2, and another for glibc-2.3, but everything
should be OK with higher versions of glibc?
