Sigh.  The only system I have access to with glibc-2.5 installed (my laptop 
has 2.3.6 but ubuntu feisty has 2.5) is an x86-64 system, and of course that 
says "#error unsupported cpu type".

Ok, _that_ needs to be fixed soonish.  A 32-bit compiler today is like a 
16-bit compiler in 1989: about 18 months from useless, outside the embedded 
market.

No problem.  I'll see if I can scrape up a 32-bit Ubuntu Feisty system.  (I'm 
happy to fix anything I can reproduce...)
