Done and done!  I hope it's ok.  The patch itself failed to have any 
effect on the compilation process (and the resultant failure), as far as 
I can tell.

I have suspicions that glibc-2.2.5 is too old to work with the 2.6 
headers, but I have no justification for that other than a childish 
"'cause it kinda might be kinda thing".

I shall try building with older headers (possibly using the sanitized 
versions) and see if it makes a difference.  I can do trial and error, 
but otherwise I'm out of my depth!

Appreciatively yours,
