-<note tip>In order to keep up to date, I advise you to keep an eye on the [[http://slackware.com/~alien/multilib/ChangeLog.txt | ChangeLog]] I keep for my multilib packages. Usually, I will have //updated glibc and gcc// packages available within a day after Slackware has updates to gcc and glibc.
