On a 2.4 kernel, icebox gives an error:
$ icebox --Ice.Config=config_service
[ 03/26/07 14:36:59.623 Network: attempting to bind to tcp socket
127.0.0.1:9998 ]

Ice::SocketException:
socket exception: Function not implemented
This is due to the use of epoll, which was added in ice 3.2.0 but is only
supported by linux 2.5.44 and higher:
$ strace icebox --Ice.Config=config_service 2>&1 | grep epoll
epoll_create(1) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
To work around this for now, I've added -DICE_NO_EPOLL to
debian/patches/add-common-flags.patch (attached). So far this seems
to work. Having it fall back to normal poll when epoll returns ENOSYS
would probably be a better solution.
