Thanks, obviously it's not normal (as I suspected)... Tried the
build-dep, but it did nothing - ie. gave 0 for all its removed,
newly-installed, upgraded etc. So I reinstalled everything mentioned
in the list of build dependencies, and libc6, libc6-dev, libstdc++,
libstdc++-dev, make and the existing gcc-2.95 for good measure. We
shall see...
