Steven, please help.  Do I need a different compiler?

Only one of six small programs compiled for me as follows:

I installed BL3.50 loop to ext2 and pkg'ed binutils, gmake, linuxinc, 
egcs, and libc packages (and deleted doc man and info files).  BL3 is 28MB 
with these packages.

gzip wanted a non-busybox grep

xlhtml said to try a different compiler after numerous errors about float
in one of the source files.

sox:  Syntax error, unterminated quoted string.  Error 2.
Would a newer compiler tolerate this better?

aumix:  bin/sh: msgfmt not found  Error 2.
Do we need bash instead of ash?

mcdp small CLI CD player compiled perfectly for libc5. I posted it at my 
site. (16K libc5, 17K glibc, 31K uclibc-static).

cabextract entered and left the src directory for several pages and exited 
with Error 2  (It would not compile with uclibc).  No idea what is wrong 
here.
