Slackware 3.6 here, too.

I'm probably going to stick with the libc5 X11 binaries from the slackware
packages. And ncurses was rather obvious - after all, you can't test the
system with a kernel rebuild until you do. I'm probably not going to
bother rebuilding most stuff - mainly static libraries.

And, of course, I did read instructions. Nowhere did it state that at the
end of 'make install' it would crash with a message telling me to check a
bunch of stuff unrelated to the problem.

I've just rebuild it under itself with the glibc2.1 egcs I built. I've got
it on a chrooted partition, so I can test it without killing my system or
having to reboot :-)

But the question is: was it an egcs or a glibc2.1 bug?
