I put symlinks in both /usr/include and /usr/include/bits.  No joy...

Hmmmm....wasn't aware that  knowing programming was a pre-requisite
for compiling a kernel/user programs.  I've been compiling stuff just
fine since RH5.0.

As far as a specific problem, yeah, security issues are a problem for
me.  When they are brought up, I usually try to upgrade/patch.

The kernel compiled just fine.  It's other programs (slrn, mutt, etc)
that will not compile now.
