heh. mine works, too, it just took a little trimming of sysdep.h.
RH5 made a LOT of system changes. also, it didn't actually
break the mud, just gave billions of 'previously delcared' errors, even
after i ran ./configure. incidentally, stock bpl12 compiled fine,
excepting one function (i forget which) that wasn't specifically checked
for by ./configure. stock bpl11 failed miserably.
both bpls and Rom2.4 failed on crypt(3). i think glibc moved crypt(3) to
it's own library, while the older C lib had that function in the stock
libs. i may be wrong about that, though.

yes, but should't it keep same name functions from causing errors by using
the one defined in the source code, not in the C headers?
