I was able to compile make 3.81 using glibc2.2.5 solibs/development 
package but not with glibc 2.3.6 solibs and 2.2.5 development package.
Therefore I need to also upgrate the latter, no surprise.

I posted http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/make-3.81-glibc225 (chmod +a and 
chmod +x).

I then used make-3.81 to try to compile mplayer-1rc2 and it got much 
further (no ctype_b errors) but stopped after a series of

impossible register constraint in `asm'
`asm' needs too many reloads

asm seems to be in the gcc package and they said gcc 2.95.3 was okay.

mplayer 0.93 compiled okay on this system.
Maybe rc1.0pre7try2 would also work?

Ideas?
