   Christian, you are a godsend.  Thank you.

   nm could not find libc.so on this system, so I looked
at /usr/lib with ls -al.  The symlink for libc.so pointed
to libc.so.12.83.1.  There is no libc.so.12.83.1.

   I recreated the softlink to libc.so.12.83 as seen in 1.6.
After a recompile of mozilla 1.6.1 and depends, it works!

   BTW, perl5 was not compiling with the bad symlink, either,
but it compiles good now.  Thanks again, and guten tag.

   If any others on this list have the same problem, please
report.  If so, I'll find out what created the erroneous
symlink (1.6.1 set or something else?) and file a bug report.
