Would it help in compiling libtiff and netpbm if I upgraded the compiler 
by replacing the SW71 packages with SW81 packages as follows?

glibc-2.1.3 > glibc-2.2.5 and cxxlibs
I think libtiff source code uses C++.

egcs-1.99.6 > gcc-2.95.3 and gcc-g++-2.95.3
This fixed the cpp sanity failure problem for libtiff.

This is small even if not needed.

Much larger but includes Assembler needed by netpbm.

Would this fix the libtiff problem below?

I briefly considered compiling the latest 'as' but it only seems to come 
in the binutils source code package, which is up to around 15MB now.
