What I came across was the compiler which it builds has missing
include files, so many of the compiles being done by gcc-2.95.3
fail, even if I make it skip over one, it fails on another. I
didn't want to take the time to figure out how to fix the compile
environment, but if that is in the works, anyway, then I'll wait
a little longer.

Thanks! I'll have a look. I thought Gentoo was a "full" distro
even on LiveCD.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
