I've taken to using the "Red Hat 5.x Compatible" libraries and 
compilation.  Usually, it works, but it is definitely not as easy as 
using Red Hat 5 (or Debian Slink) out of the box.

In particular, things have problems when "interacting" with 
/usr/include.  All of the glibc includes are in
/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/include; however, things such as libuuid 
(used by GNU parted) are in /usr/include.  I never could get GNU 
parted to compile.  Another one was zebra; as I remember it compiled 
on a Debian Slink system just fine; under the glibc20-compat 
libraries, it mixes up /usr/include/ and
/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/include no matter what I tell it.

Can someone offer some help?  I'm guessing that these problems are 
just the cost of trying to compile something for a library not on the 
system; but if someone does this every day it'd be nice to know how.

It is, indeed, rather interesting - lots of people just assume you're 
using cc or gcc when you're really using i386-glibc20-gcc .... and 
using C++ is even MORE interesting....

I must say there were things DID compile without problem - like scdp 
(command-line CD player); util-linux; hwclock; and cryptcat (netcat 
with crypto!).  But it does seem like problems and errors are the 
norm, not the exception....
