Well the 2.4.19 build .7 that I downloaded today works great on my 3000A
processors and I am now running with glibc 2.3.1 installed.

I discovered that port '3' is ttyS2 and port '2' is ttyS0, and the port
works fine. Doesn't seem to mind minicom at 57600 or 115200, although I
don't yet know if it is just limiting it to 38400 automatically.

Still waiting on this, since I haven't managed to get around to trying
out the patch. I will probably do a cross compiler setup soon to get a
faster compile.
