I use rh 5.0(glibc-2.0.7pre3+wcsmbs patch, egcs-1.0.2+ some latest
unoffical fixes, ppp-2.3.4...).
$ uname -a
Linux progress.plw.net 2.1.100 #9 Mon May 4 01:33:48 KST 1998 i586 unknown
I resolved this problem in ppp-2.3.4 just by wrapping all 'utsname.release'
with "".
eg) strcmp(utsname.release, "2.1.0")
-> strcmp("utsname.release, "2.1.0")
Another method is as follows:
1. In ppp-2.3.4/pppd/sys-linux, insert '#include <linux/version.h>' into
proper position.
2. Replace all 'utsname.release' with "UTS_RELEASE"(including "").
3. make
PS: I don't know the reason why pppd compile was ok with 2.1.9x without
above change, and not ok with 2.1.100pre1, but at least it is not
due to 'y2k problem of linux' or 'uname bug of glibc2'.
