FINALLY! Thanks. I have been trying to compile Glibc 2.3.5 for a few
hours, seeing all kinds of exotic error messages, patiently pasting
the error message text into Google to see what comes up. Every error I
get rid of, a new one takes its place. I was going to post a message
to the KPLUG list, asking for help on this, but I did a search for
"glibc" first, and found this post.

Is it "official" that you have to be running a 2.6 kernel to compile
Glibc, or is that just what people have figured out from trying it on
everything else? In all of the Glibc documentation I read, I missed
that warning.
