Conflicting getrlimit and setrlimit?

[Dale Rossetti]

I installed Slackware 8.0 with as few options as I could. The kernel during 
install is 2.4.5. I've downloaded, installed and recompiled kernels 2.4.20 and 
2.5.65. I've also recompiled the 2.4.5 kernel.

I'm trying to install XFree86 4.3.0, glibc 2.3.2 and gcc 3.2.2. I need glibc 
2.3 or better for XFree86 4.3.0 and I need gcc better than 2.95.3 (currently 
installed) for glibc 2.3.2. I'm at a stumbling block with gcc. In the 
downloaded gcc-3.2.2/gcc/system.h, it declares both getrlimit and setrlimit. 
However, in /usr/include/sys/resource.h, the declarations are different.

/usr/src/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/system.h:

#ifdef HAVE_GETRLIMIT
# if defined (HAVE_DECL_GETRLIMIT) && !HAVE_DECL_GETRTLIMIT (Dale comments: 
isn't this pointless? Won't the statement always be false?)
#  ifndef getrlimit
#   ifdef ANSI_PROTOTYPES
struct rlimit;
#   endif
extern int getrlimit PARAMS ((int, struct rlimit *));
#  endif
# endif
#endif

#ifdef HAVE_SETRLIMIT
# if defined (HAVE_DECL_SETRLIMIT) && !HAVE_DECL_SETRTLIMIT (Dale comments: 
Again, won't this always be false?)
#  ifndef setrlimit
#   ifdef ANSI_PROTOTYPES
struct rlimit;
#   endif
extern int setrlimit PARAMS ((int, const struct rlimit *));
#  endif
# endif
#endif

/usr/include/sys/resource.h:

extern int getrlimit (__rlimit_resource_t __resource, struct rlimit *__rlimits) 
__THROW;
.
.
.
extern int setrlimit (__rlimit_resource_t __resource, __const struct rlimit 
*__rlimits) __THROW;

Just wondering if you've come across something similar or if I maybe missed a 
step when recompiling the kernels. Should I set up a symbolic link somewhere 
that points to a subdirectory in /usr/src/linux-2.5.65? I added/updated 
symbolic links:
/usr/include/asm --> /usr/src/linux-2.5.65/include/asm.
/usr/include/asm-generic --> /usr/src/linux-2.5.65/include/asm-generic.
/usr/include/linux --> /usr/src/linux-2.5.65/include/linux.

Thank you for your assistance.

Dale
