The error messages above indicate a problem with your C compilation
environment. The file "lib/utlib.c" includes the standard
header-file <errno.h>, which, apparently, includes the header-file
"/usr/src/linux-2.4.14/include/asm-alpha/errno.h", which is not on
your system. The fact that a standard header-file for your C compiler
attempts to include a header-file that doesn't exists indicates a
severe problem with your C development environment. Unfortunately, we
don't have the resources necessary to solve such problems.

I suggest that you show the above error message to your system
administrator or someone else who knows your environment.

Good luck.
