Many.  From all accounts most installations are under Linux, many using
the Red Hat binaries, although I have reservations about the support for
these and the number of versions.  (NB most development is not on Linux.)
An initial scan of the list would have told you this.

When referencing Linux, please quote the distribution, otherwise we 
have to assume the current Red Hat (a problem with Red Hat users).

I assume that you have more than one of these errors, in which case get
and apply the egcs patch (also know as the gcc (can't remember version)
patch).  I think this was the only critical patch to allow compilation
on Slackware 3.5.

This is a 1 to 2 a week FAQ.

If the compilations fail, not library is created.  The hylafax Makefile
is strange in that it does not give up after the first error.

4.0pl2 with relevant patches is the only applicable version these days.
