a) Is there any reason why you can't use the current 21.3?

b) Investigate why configure doesn't find strerror() in the system
headers.  It does on my machine here, as it should and if it finds
that, it shouldn't try to use it's own version.  I admit my machine is
linux-ppc, not i386. 


Hope this helps, benny
