Thanks for discovering what the problem was folks, but this patch is not
the right way to fix it. There is a fudge in the script file
Configure-os.h that checks for older versions of Linux. The comment says
# Special-purpose fudge for older versions of Linux (pre 2.1.15) that
# use the structure name "options" instead of "ip_options".
It modifies the file OS/os.h-Linux by adding the lines
/* Fudge added because this Linux doesn't appear to have a definition
for ip_options in /usr/include/linux/ip.h. */
#define ip_options options
The re-arrangement of the Linux compiling mechanism to split it into two
versions (Linux and Linux-libc5) caused the fudge to fail, because it
didn't recognize the os name Linux-libc5.
I have fixed this problem, and issued yet another release (1.92) because
there has been one other minor (but possibly important) change - a bug
in the PCRE regular expression library got fixed yesterday.
Sorry about this. I should have been more thorough in the testing.
