Sorry to continue with this topic, but...

I reinstalled Linux to RedHat 4.1 yet I still have to change the header
file.  The kernel is 2.0.27 and the libc is:

# ls -lsd /usr/lib/libc*
   0 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           24 Mar  3 10:32 /usr/lib/libc.so -> ../../lib/libc.so.5.3.12
# gcc --version
2.7.2.1

I'm not complaining since I can easily change the header file.

Sorry if has already been discussed on linux-8086.  The mailing list
archive at http://epocha.pd.mcs.net:80/Linux8086/threads.html seems to
have not been updated since 2/15/96...

I'm having the above problem.  Was it truly fixed with
Dev86src-0.0.11.tar.gz on linux.mit.edu?  I'm currently using 2.0.0 of the
kernel.

Thanks.
