Builds, installs, and all base (i.e. no rtai-lab or other fancy stuff)
testsuite programs work with no problems.

Machine: PII-400 256 MB, smallish disk, network, etc.
Kernel: linux-2.6.14.6
compiler: gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)

Unfortunately my applications do not build, since they were last
compiled with an earlier kernel (2.4), earlier gcc and an earlier
rtai-3.1-testXX!
