Ok, Jose.  I need to do some work to make it work with glibc 2.3.1.  The header
files have changed.  Getting newlib and glibc header files coexisting is an on-going
struggle.  I have a few tweaks allowing it to go further, but I have uncovered some
other problems due to newer glibc headers.  I will hopefully have something
to post to you later today.
