Hey Brynn,

The RAQ2's have an outdated compiler. You might want to consider updating to
gcc-2.95.2 or higher, then see if it will compile.

This is how I updated my RAQ2:

[1] Get the new glibc:
    ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/
        glibc-profile-2.0.7-29C2.mips.rpm
        glibc-debug-2.0.7-29C2.mips.rpm
        glibc-devel-2.0.7-29C2.mips.rpm
        glibc-2.0.7-29C2.mips.rpm

[2] Install the new glibc:
    cd
    rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps glibc-*-29C2.mips.rpm

[3] Run ldconfig:
    /sbin/ldconfig

[4] Get egcs and libstdc++:
    (Alternately you could downnload and compile get gcc 2.95.1 and
libstdc++.)

    ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/mipsel-linux/RPMS/mipsel/
        egcs-1.0.2-9.mipsel.rpm
        egcs-c++-1.0.2-9.mipsel.rpm
        egcs-g77-1.0.2-9.mipsel.rpm
        egcs-objc-1.0.2-9.mipsel.rpm
        libstdc++-2.8.0-9.mipsel.rpm
        libstdc++-devel-2.8.0-9.mipsel.rpm

[5] Install egcs & libstdc++
    rpm -e gcc-objc
    rpm -e gcc-c++
    rpm -e gcc
    rpm -Uvh egcs*-1.0.2-9.mipsel.rpm

    rpm -e libg++-devel-2.7.2.8
    rpm -i libstdc++*-2.8.0-9.mipsel.rpm
