I know this is not a DJGPP topic but it is related in my effort to learn what 
you can and can't do.

I have asked this question in the NASM forum but no response yet. I tried to 
install NASM on a RedHat 5.2 release with kernel 2.0.36-0.5. "make" returned 
with some GLIBC errors. Is this a matter of updating binutils to satisfy the 
dependencies that it is looking for?  Or is this even possible for a Linux 
version this old? Is there a cut-off kernel version?

Any comments would be appreciated.
