+Q: I cannot connect to remote peers when I use the chroot option, the
+ following is logged: "Can't resolve example.com: unknown error!".
+A: On Linux/glibc with chroot enabled you need to put some libraries inside
+ the chroot as well, notably libnss_dns; maybe others. Unfortunately, even
+ linking ngircd statically does not help this. The only known workaround
+ is to either disable chroot support or to link against dietlibc instead
+ of glibc. (tnx to Sebastian Siewior)

+Q: I am running Linux and ngircd dies on startup with the follwing errors:
+ IO subsystem: epoll (hint size 100, initial maxfd 100, masterfd -1).
+ Cannot initialize IO routines: Function not implemented
+ Server isn't listening on a single port!
+ ngircd exiting due to fatal errors!
+A: epoll is only supported on 2.6 Linux kernels. Either use a 2.6 kernel, or
+ re-run configure with the --without-epoll parameter. After configure
+ completed, you should see select() being listed as IO backend:
+ '(I/O backend: "select()"').
