Supporting Linux 2.0 may be nothing but a burden for developers,
but for some users it is badly desired.

The following is what I did to make the current kaffe run on my
old Linux machine.  I would NOT insist that this should be
officially supported.  This is only for reference.

1. Patch libraries/clib/native/Double.c

   Strtod() of my Linux is buggy.  So I got a reliable source of
   strtod.c from somewhere and put it to libraries/clib/native
   and make Double.c include it.

2. Patch replace/getifaddrs.c

   Old Linux does not have linux/netlink.h and linux/rtnetlink.h.
   So I do not expect kaffe to use replace/getifaddrs.c.

3. Install getaddrinfo.

   Get getaddrinfo-1.5.1.tar.gz from
     http://www.sra.co.jp/people/m-kasahr/getaddrinfo/
   and compile getaddrinfo.c.  This program provides
   getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo().

   Put getaddrinfo.h to libraries/clib/net/
   Then insert the following lines to 
       libraries/clib/net/InetAddressImpl.c
       libraries/clib/net/NetworkInterfaceImpl.c
       libraries/clib/net/PlainSocketImpl.c

#undef AF_INET6
#undef PF_INET6

#if !defined(HAVE_GETADDRINFO) || !defined(HAVE_GETNAMEINFO)
#include "getaddrinfo.h"
#endif
=====================================================================

   And put getaddrinfo.o to replace/
   and patch libraries/clib/net/Makefile.in

That is all.  Kaffe can be built on my old Linux machine and runs on it.

(I am not sure that $(top_builddir)/replace/ is the best place to
put getaddrinfo.o.)
