Dear GAP Forum, and Dear John,

Dima Pasechnik passed your query from sci.math.symbolic on to the GAP

To compile GAP 3.4.4 (I haven't tried earlier 3.4.x kernels, but there
are very few changes) on Linux with glibc2 (libc6) you need to give the
compiler an extra option:

make ibm-i386-linux-gcc2 COPTS="-DSYS_HAS_IOCTL_PROTO"

You should then get no more than a few warnings, and the resulting
binary should work. Let us know if this doesn't work.
