I have 1.3.75 working now, I haven't determind what the problem was.
After messing around with libc, binutils, ldd, and all sorts of TCP
config settings in the kernel (I was attempting to narrow down the
problem) I finally got it running! Unfortunately I don't know what was
causing the problem :> It might have been the multicast mbone support,
firewall option, or possibly the experimental pgcc 2.7.2p I was running.
In any case, after 30+ hours of recompiles I'm now running with libc
5.2.18, binutils .10, and 2.7.2p l8 and the AMD lance networking is fine
(with network alias support)

Anyone know why libc-5.3.6 doesn't come with updated /usr/lib/crt1.o crt*.o
files? I can't compile any programs with libc-5.3.6.bin.tar.gz installed.
