I may be heading slightly off topic, but it's a quiet list, so please bear
with me guys :)

What problems are you having bulding PAX? Slackware 9 is based on GCC 3 and 
glibc 2.3.1 which are, whilst not recent, not so terribly old either and 
shouldn't create issues.

It could simply be that you need to upgrade a few libraries, which can easily
be done from source, into /usr/local/lib if you are at all paranoid about 
polluting system installed libs.

You might also consider an upgrade, 2.4 kernel is looking a bit tired imho.
