Thanks for your reply. As far as I know, I have the latest packages... I got them from the mirror a few days ago.
The ones I have installed are: libc5-5.2.18-6.deb dated May 1 libc5-dev-5.2.18-6.deb dated May 1 gcc-2.7.2-8.deb dated May 2 In fact, I have reinstalled them (and others, "just in case") several times in the course of trying to get this working. A few days ago, I tried kludging around the problem like your suggestion, and then everything compiles fine, but on the link step, of larger packages (like the kernel) I get back a bunch of "undefined reference to `_ctype'" messages on the link step, although my "hello, world" test program will compile and link (but nothing else will). If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.
