	This has been a noted problem on the egcs mailing list for the
past several months with people sayin there are problems with Linux kernel
compiles using egcs and the egcs coding team has told Linus that it is due
to the libraries. So I guess until everyone finally figures out which
libraries to use and which not to this is going to be the case. I've
always noted Slackware to also be way behind the times when it came to any
major issue... especially security patches/fixes...
