+<note><para>2) As of this writing, the Glibc maintainers have decided in their
+wisdom not to make available new release tarballs for download. The only way to
+obtain the current Glibc release from pristine upstream sources is to pull it
+from the Glibc CVS repository. The following commands will download the current
+release and make a tarball from it:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/glibc \
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;export -d &glibc-dir; -D "2003-12-02 UTC" libc
+tar jcvf &glibc-package; &glibc-dir;</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Alternatively, we've made our own tarball available which you can
+download courtesy of the generous LFS mirror sites. Please refer to the
+<xref linkend="ch06-glibc"/> section for the download links.</para></note>
