[ale] Slackware v10.2 compile woes

[Christopher R. Curzio]

Perhaps if you can elaborate on the problems you're having rather than
simply saying "It's broken," maybe we can figure it out a bit better. It
doesn't sound like a distribution or compiler issue. It sounds like you've
got a conflict somewhere. 

I'm running Slackware 10.2 on at least three machines, and have done
regular compiling on all of them. I've not run into any problems. 

ccurzio at Optimus:~$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.6

PURPOSE.

> Used to be that Slackware was a tight, reliable distro 
> that you could compile just about anything with.

Also, please stop blaming the distribution for your problems.
