Yep. This may be required by make install, or may just be required because 
the time stamps on the files weren't duplicated exactly so it thought it 
had to rebuild things.

Unless Mandrake has a glibc update, that's probably the only sensible 
alternative.

In general it's better to build something on an older system if it's also 
to be run on a newer one, and despite the "9.0" I believe Mandrake 9.0 is 
older than RHL 8.0 - Mandrake just play version games.

With different distributions admittedly, it's possible that something that 
is newer on one system is older on the other and vice-versa which means 
you've no chance but to rebuild on both :-|.
