I'm having trouble compiling the Hobbit client (version 4.2.0) on Linux... specifically, the compile generates the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: bb.o: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 2)
bb.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
I have copied the entire "make" command output below - sorry if this is too lengthy, but wanted to give as much info as possible...
Created Makefile with the necessary information to build Hobbit
Some defaults are used, so do look at the Makefile before continuing.
Configuration complete - now run make (GNU make) to build the tools

Here is the output of the "uname -a" command:
Linux rswpfssh01 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Any assistance would be very much appreciated, I am at a loss to understand the reason for this compile failure - especially since the source compiled OK on my Solaris boxes.
