Re: Install error continues in 2.2.4

Hello,

Mine is just a suggestion, I don't have much idea about what you're
trying to do. It seems to me your installed "ln" did not like either
ld-2.2.4.so or libc-2.2.4.so. Why not using a newer "ln" or using a
statically linked one.

Anyways, I hope, it may give an idea..
