<From the look of those names, you didn't install the glibc-devel

I don't mean to bash RedHat, I think they're a good outfit, and I'd be
glad to work for them. :-)
The kernel itself can't use glibc, I think, but the helper programs that
handle the configure and make can and do.
I hope that unist.h is a typo for unistd.h, otherwise I don't know where
to find it. You know you can capture the output of a command in a file
with command &>oops so you don't have to retype all those error
messages, right? Or capture a whole session with script.
