Thanks! I felt I had it a time or two, but the build script that I use (I'm trying to build a pristine copy) downloads stuff from sourceforge and kept getting into trouble downloading the mx4j bits. Seems like they dropped the mx4j 2.1.0 and you can only get mx4j 2.1.1 - making a truly pristine (ie. md5sum verifyable) version of 5.0 might be very challenging in the future if enough bits rot on the vine.
I'm still tinkering with it, should have it working in a few days. I'm planning on posting my patches so they can be used to update the building tomcat 5.0 page.
