I just decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the latest pre2.0 linux (I'm a late adopter).
So I went to the kernel victims page and picked up all the stuff I thought I'd need, like libc 4.7.6, and ppp-2.2.0f, and procps-0.99a, and so on, since I've seen enough people whining about this and that breaking and figured I'd try to avoid all that.
So first I upgraded to libc 4.7.6, then I tried to compile pre2.0.9.
I got almost all the way through the kernel build, then I got to building arch/i386/tools/build, and it failed to link saying "undefined symbol stat".
I find that using libc 4.7.6 I can't compile anything that has stat() in it; stat() apparently isn't in libc 4.7.6. I got pre2.0.9 to compile by changing stat() to __stat() in build.c, but I can't compile much of anything else without stat().
What did I do wrong?
