Phil:
I'm very aware linux is actually an OS/and or kernel, and for the info
your asking: it WAS Caldera a long time ago but over the last 3 years
with enhancements and upgrades is more generic than Caldera now.

Sorry again for not being as PRECISE as yourself, a Makefile Bug
possibly.

I don't think its THAT strange, other code has compiled just fine in
the past including 3.33.

Again, its pretty generic, used to Be Caldera OpenLinux 2.3
[root@eagle /lib]# ldd `type -p host`
libc.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6 (0x40015000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
