I did a little research, and it seems that QMAGIC is a newer a.out 
format which leaves the first page unmapped (from the gcc-faq).

In the newer binutils the ZMAGIC format is no longer supported
(`binutils-2.5.2l.17.bin.tar.gz'). I guess if your friend has
binutils older than this, he will be able to help us.

what is needed are newer shared version of libc and libm
(the latest, I don't have the version numbers handy). Right now
we have libc.so.4.5.26 and libm.so.4.5.26

Regards,
Marc.
