	You didn't state where you started from and where you are at visa
vi GCC, Libc, Bin Utils.  The above messages look like some discontinuites
in the use of Libc and the Kernel headers.  If you made a big jump from 
a.out to elf at the same time we may need to come up with a faq for the
jump.  The error message above shows up during a link phase so it doesn't
make sense as a make dep to me.
	I guess what I am suggesting is fresh start from an elf compiled
base if possible.  But even the most recent will take upgrading for all
the possible configurations to work note many packages are  out with
final patches to match 2.0.0
