 example) and since 5.4.7 is missing a few needed symbols, try to get
 the latest 5.4.x you can.  Currently, that is libc-5.4.12.
 
+   If you upgrade to libc-5.4.x, you also have to upgrade your dynamic
+linker (ld.so) to at least 1.8.3, or all sorts of weirdness will happen.

+Modules
+=======
+
+   You need to upgrade to modules-2.0.8 for kernels 2.1.8 and later.
+Currently, there is no modules package which works with kernel 2.1.1.
+
+Gnu C
+=====
+
+   You need at least GCC 2.7.2 to compile the kernel.  If you're
+upgrading from an earlier release, you might as well get GCC 2.7.2.1,
+the latest public release.  If you already have GCC 2.7.2 on your
+system, you don't have to upgrade just so the kernel will work (though
+feel free to upgrade if you want the gcc bug fixes).
