Actually..let me retrieve all the error messages here.  I realize the
glibc part and originally I thought that was the issue with it..however
slak4 dist has glibc in the optional package installs and I have it
installed and libc5 removed..or did..which I might add was nice that they
mentioned just installing glibc would crash your system if you didn't do 8
things first.

Ok here's the compile error.
