Hi Andrew:

I have:

/usr/include/sys/sysctl.h:				v1.96 2003/07/02
/usr/src/sys/compat/linux/common/linux_sysctl.h:	v1.1 2002/02/15
gcc -v:					version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

I guess these are out of date.  Any advice on the best way to upgrade
my toolchain (gcc, includes, etc.) to a newer version that works?
I can't find any recent binary snapshots, so which source tarballs
should I get and build?

Thanks in advance.
Alicia.
