H'lo Rob, Mike;

I first saw Bambero's email, saw "Gentoo", and immediately asked what
the Gentoo guys thought of it... my mistake, Bambero explained how it's
a gentoo host, but not a gentoo issue.

The conversation ran away from me, so I wanted to see if I understand
you both.

First, you're ignoring this error, since it's just a warning?

 -- a ./configure issue, but it still builds object, right?

Second, from your blog entry for 2005-02-26 (dumb me, I read the 02-27
entry and was still confused) the issue is here:

> ar cru libsed.a getopt1.o getopt.o utils.o strverscmp.o regex.o
> ar: libsed.a: No such file or directory
> make[2]: *** [libsed.a] Error 1 

The ar command is failing because it cannot find a /dev/random or
/dev/urandom.  The final suggestion to Bambero is therefore either:

1) Create/chmod/make-accessible /dev/(u)random
2) user a newer binutils, perhaps one not maintained by FSF

I don't mean to be the lame WWE announcer who basically describes
everything for the "slower" and "more challenged" of the viewing
audience, but wanted to make sure I had the story straight.  Thanks. 
Poke/correct/slap/heckle me as appropriate,
