[Lazarus] Cannot install Lazarus-0.9.26/fpc-2.2.2 on Suse 10.0, help needed

But I cannot {:-(
As I described in  my first posting, the RPM for fpc 2.2.2 will not
install, because it wants glibc version 2.4, which is not available
for my Suse 10.0
That is why I wantend to work around it by building fpc from source...

Well, I read the build-faq (from march 17, 2007) entirely at least
once (as you suggest in it). Maybe I'm just not up to it.
Mind you, I don't mind trying, and even failing, as long as I don't
screw up my current stable Laz/Fpc configuration.

(I can hardly expect the person who builds the rpms to downgrade his
Linux so he/she can do the buildprocess against glibc-2.3 now, can I?)
