These go away w/ a glibc version of Linux.

Harmless.

using -dcore-lint cuts down the residency. This is a space leak we're
looking into.
Remember, you compiled 4.00 with 3.03 - that's why the -H option is
still needed. In the bootstrapped version you can forget about -H,
unless you need more than 64M heap!

Hmm, should be harmless, but I'll look into it.
I was expecting a bug report about CgBindery.hi-boot - you have to
replace some () with {} to bootstrap.
Sorry for the terse message, I'm on a *really* slow dialup link at the
moment.
Cheers,
