Could you leave anywhere the .diff.gz used to build it,
please? I still haven't been able to build it.

Strange... `tar' fails only when used with more than 4
arguments... but that way it's unusable.
Example:
------------------------------------------------------------
root@groucho:~# tar
tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
Try `tar --help' for more information.
root@groucho:~# tar a
tar: invalid option -- a
Try `tar --help' for more information.
root@groucho:~# tar a b c d
tar: invalid option -- a
Try `tar --help' for more information.
root@groucho:~# tar a b c d e
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
------------------------------------------------------------
It happens *always* when using 5 or more arguments.
The constructors still don't work. This little program
doesn't print anything:
------------------------------------------------------------
int f() __attribute__ ((constructor));
f() { printf("Hello, world!\n"); }
main() {}
------------------------------------------------------------
(it should display `Hello, world!\n').
Other thing: less_332-1 doesn't work always... sometimes it
fails with this:
------------------------------------------------------------
root@groucho:~# ldconfig -v | less
less: error in loading shared libraries: : symbol .rem, version
GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
------------------------------------------------------------
(but it may be a problem with `less'...)
