The src RPM would NOT build. I posted comments yesterday.

I got that from a RH 7.2 box with gcc 3.0.3 glibc 2.2.5. 

I compile my glibc and gcc myself since RH's glibc is not yet beyond
2.2.4-19.21 or some such thing, and gcc3 is a little hokey. I don't much
like their implementation of certain things. 

The source compiles and works just fine from portable, just not the src
rpm. The main problem goes that when I take the src rpm to a 7.1 box,
which I'll use to build and upgrade others from the resulting RPMs, is
that I can't even build the RPM. It breaks with what I posted yesterday.
