You'll need to update to unstable's g++ and g77, and use libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1-dev rather than libstdc++2.9 .

Re: libstdc++2.9-dev/libc6-dev incompatibility?
I have successfully built Linux 2.2.5 on a Debian 2.1 system, and so far it appears the various utils work without updating to unstable. I've had colleagues who have been running the 2.1/2.2 kernels under Slink give the same reports. Debian 2.0 on the other hand probably has some compatability problems with 2.2.x.
