I also had problems but I forget the details, and it's only 5.01
(22 June 1997).  If you have a glibc-based Linux 2.1.x system and
have had no other success, mail me.

I think the problem is mainly the mind-boggling complexity of the
source, due in part to the very broad range of supported systems and the
ad-hoc approach.  It takes a _lot_ of reading of the included docs, and
one is apt to weary of it.  If you stick it out I think you will get a
good compile.
