Gated 3.5.10 on Libc5

BoredSpy asks "I'm having an extremely difficult time attempting to build gated 3.5.10 on a Red Hat 4.2 box. Does anyone know if it will even build, or what the process is? Does it require glibc, etc? Any pointers to information or documentation on gated compilation under Linux (especially libc5) would be appreciated. "
