Meant make 3.74 (oops). True, Slackware 3.1 does ship with libc5, but it's an
extremely old version (i.e. not what Documentation/Changes says is required
anyway - by far), and I figured that while I'm upgrading anyway, I might as
well upgrade entirely to libc6 (aka glibc), especially since libc5 is being
phased out (at least, as far as Linux goes - I don't know about Unix in
general). Slackware 3.1 does also come with glibc, but it's version
1.4.something-or-other (again, really old).
My main concern is why it won't compile (grin).
I'm home now, and I've got some more info on the messages.
Here's the last thing that Make outputs on my screen before returning me to
the prompt.

Hope this helps - if you need anything else (proc file listings, .config,
whatever) to help me, please let me know.
Thanks.
