We discovered the hard way that GNOME current assumes that no one would want to
build GNOME on anything earlier than RH 6.0.  Our most current complete StackGuard
environment is RH 5.2.  When we get the EGCS port of StackGuard running, then we
ca work on RH 6.1, and *then* we can build GNOME current.

So to refine the question:  can someone point me at GNOME sources that are old
enough to compile on RH 5.2, and are thought to be vulnerable to this problem?

Thanks,
