What's being used:
libc - 5.4.38
libg++ - 2.7.2.8
gcc - 2.7.2.3
ld.so - version 1.9.6
modutils - 2.1.55
kernel running during the build: 2.0.32
Steps that were taken (in order):
1.) virgin source for 2.1.72 installed into /usr/src/linux
2.) virgin source for ppp-2.3.2 installed into /usr/src/ppp-2.3.2
3.) in /usr/src/linux: vi Makefile, and comment-out the "SMP = 1"
4.) in /usr/src/ppp-2.3.2: "./configure" --> runs OK, looks like:
[root@stargate ppp-2.3.2]# ./configure
Creating links to Makefiles.
Makefile -> linux/Makefile.top
pppd/Makefile -> Makefile.linux
pppstats/Makefile -> Makefile.linux
chat/Makefile -> Makefile.linux
[root@stargate ppp-2.3.2]#
5.) still in /usr/src/ppp-2.3.2: "make kernel" --> runs OK :
Notice to the user:
It is perfectly legal for this script to run without making any changes
to your system. This means that the system currently contains the
necessary changes to support this package. Please do not attempt to
force this script to replace any file nor make any patch. If you do so
then it is probable that you are actually putting older, buggier, code
over the newer, fixed, code. Thank you.

I've been trying to get 2.3.2 to compile with 2.1.72, becuase that's
what I understand from everything I have read that if you are having
trouble with ppp since version 2.1.68, that is what you are supposed to
do.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
