compiling 5.2.1 for an older system

[Ben Z]

Hello all;   I'm relatively new at this kind of development, but here's my question. I am compiling the daemon (5.2.1) on a FreeBSD 5.3 box, and the target is an embedded 4.9 system. I use all the "configure" options (supposedly) to make this work but I keep getting version number conflict with libm. The compiled version is looking to link against libm.so.3 at runtime, but the version in the 4.9 libraries is libm.so.2. It is important (for now) that I get this running on the 4.9 system with the current libraries installed. Can anybody lend any suggestions?     Thanks, Ben Z
