Well, I've foudn these #defines in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/asm/types.h

Which is fine because now instead of adding the explicit defiens myself I
can just #include that header, this is still a cheap fix, and I'm still at
a loss as to why it woudl work one place yet not another.

I too am Using RedHat 5.1 (haven't tested on Slack _yet_) and tried with
both glibc 2.0.7 and 2.0.97.

I've also noticed (and this is funny) that glibc 2.0.97 broke pppd. Seems
to decide to not do anything and just sit there, if i reinstall the glibc
rpm that come packaged with RedHat it works. I'm recompiling glibc xxx97
again to give it another go right now.
