No problem.

Not that I'm aware of...I've not touched glibc. If you can tell me
where its located I can let you know.

OK...not being a C programmer I'll trust you on this.

OK...here we go...

I'm more than able to handle describing the system if you ask me what
you need to know, I'm not a C-Programmer so the intricacies of
compiling C source code are pretty much in the realm of using config
and make for me. I don't know C so if it fails I need to ask for help,
which is what I'm doing in a very civil way here.

No, I don't, but in trying to recompile the 3.33 (yes I saved the old
build) I get the same error at the same point, so its obviously
something broken....question being how do I fix it as I have no clue
what is broken?
The system start as in terms of what? linked against? I don't follow
the question as I said, I'm not a C-programmer here.
