Yes, this is because newer versions of Red Hat Linux (starting with 7.1)
put Linux headers in /usr/src/linux-2.4/include, whereas older versions
use /usr/src/linux/include.  In CVS and the upcoming newlib-1.10.0,
there is a check for this that should work in both cases.  In the
meantime, you can do the following:

In newlib/libc/sys/linux/Makefile.am:

Change the reference to /usr/src/linux/include/asm/signal.h to
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/asm/signal.h.

Then run automake in that directory, and recompile.
