While I wouldn't think that 2.4 is "a very old release", I am open to
suggestions as to how I should 'fix' what I currently have installed
now (short of reloading the whole thing from a 2.5 CD). The kernel
builds fine and I haven't seen any particular problems with the system
so far.

Here's the libstdc++ error, by the way.
