Hmm, another thought.  What the heck is 'binutils 2.11.2'?  I don't see
any mention of it on ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/,
which is hjl's distro location as far as I can tell.  Plus it looks like
2.11 is still beta...  Also, your log indicates the compile didn't
detect the version, or maybe detected it incorrectly:


Building on Linux 2.4.12 i686 [ELF] (2.4.12).

Linux Distribution: Unknown
libc version: 6.2.4
binutils version: 3.1

(Unless 3.1 really is the reporting version for binutils 2.11.x)

Maybe you should try the build with an older stable version of
binutils.  You may also be able to add the binutils version to host.def
to force it to think it has a sane version (which may or may not
actually improve things.):

ie: #define LinuxBinUtilsMajorVersion       26

(Read all about it in xf86site.def.)
