You lose. I did install the 0.96bp2inc.tar.Z AND modified all the
makefiles to get rid of the nostdinc -Ixxx. The instructions for
gcc2.2.2 instrcuts to delete foo/bar/src/linux/include/*.h which would
delete stddef.h and stdarg.h. The remaining of the steps fail to
create or supply new ones.

Are you assuming a fixed, or absolute, position of the linus sources ?
