I'd rather fix the bugs than point to an out of date web page that
describes a workaround.

You mentioned that the patch <http://www.bluedonkey.org/twiki/pub/
Netbsd/MandrakeLinuxBuild/linux-20030527.patch> is no longer necessary,
and the only other special instructions seem to be overriding LIBC and
LIBM on the build.sh command line.

Can you confirm that overriding LIBC and LIBM is both necessary and
sufficient to get the build to work?  What errors do you get if you fail
to override those variables?
