I've been using Linux long enough that I should know to read between the lines _very_ carefully.
The binary distribution of libc 5.2.18 contains the latest include files I needed, which do things like define stat() properly. It might not be a bad idea to hint in the kernel victims list that unless you really, really know what you're doing, it's not a bad idea to just upgrade to all the latest libc and binutil and gcc to avoid problems. I had gcc 2.7.2 that I compiled myself last year, but it's not quite compatible with the new binutils and libc 4.7.6. Although I always liked compiling gcc myself I'm getting HJ's binary distribution.
It looks like I'm basically going ELF anyway; I seem to have just barely enough room to manage it for now.
