I spoke too soon.  I'd gone back and looked at your initial mail, seen
mention of "betoh64" as one of the required link names, grepped for
that in the glibc headers, and hadn't found it.  But that name is
wrong, I think you meant "be64toh".  And indeed these interfaces are
present in glibc 2.9.

Cheers,

Michael
