  ... you know, that's a good point. I *am* glibc-based, 2.2.x.
Interesting; well, it may have had to do with some of the stuff I
defined in host.def, though I can't really see what it would be ...
I'll look into it when I have more time (sometime later this week).
Still suspect the headers. And why not symlinks?
