It looks like the following patch from -pre6 causes compiles to fail for
me:

Now granted, I'm a little behind:
% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
% ld -v
GNU ld version 2.9.5 (with BFD 2.9.5.0.22)
But do we really want to prevent RH6.2 (for example) from compiling 2.4
at this late stage? 2.95.3 became the minimum _after_ 2.4 was released,
I now notice in Changes.
I'm reverting this patchlet for now, but I'm unsure if this will cause
functionality issues. Any input would be appreciated.
I could shift to 2.95.3, but with 3.0 "around the corner", I'm hesitant
to spend the additional testing time. Not a huge deal, but...
Thanks,
