Just in case anyone is interested: Yesterday I built linux 2.0.34pre10 with
egcs 1.0.1 on an RH5.0/glibc2.0.7.something, the X-Server is XF86S3-3.3.2, the
video card is a SPEA Mirage P64 2MB (I know, it's old, but it works).
Everything, as far as I can say this until now, works as usual (X included),
except the exploits :-)

Nye,
Nils
