Thats about it.
/usr/src/linux is 2.4.27-pre5

By the way your "Query existing bug reports" site looks like an alien

Your Linux installation is probably incomplete if it lacks the ifaddrs.h header but libc has the 
getifaddrs() function.  As a workaround, you can edit config.h and comment out the line:
#define HAVE_GETIFADDRS 1
