Hello!

I had the same problem a while ago: there are two thing to do:
   1.) upgrade your libc to >5.2.18 and since this libc requires a newer
       kernel than 1.2.13
   2.) Install a kernel > 1.3.40
As far as I followed the linux groups there may be some other dependencies
with very new kernels, so make sure, your combination will work
(E. g. I am using kernel 1.3.49 with libc.5.2.18 and binutils 2.6.0.2 (?).
Oh, there's another problem: before upgrading your libc you should apply
the patch form the libc5.2.18-release notes to your make and recompile that
--- otherwise it won't function any more due to a bug in this program!)

Hope this helps

Greetings

George
