I should have been more clear. I have already checked out a tree. I am just 
trying to update it. Thank you for the clarification on the date. Thanks 
for the information on where I can check the tag!

That's good to know. Thank you.

I tried updating to 2003-07-02 sources and I got the same tools error. I am 
going to try to update again and see what happens. Theoretically, it should 
be fine to build current on a 1.6.1 system, right? I am now trying the 
build on a current system but I was able to build just fine on 1.6.1 
previously. Thank you for your help.
