IIRC, the errno problems are a result of newer versions of glibc.  Maybe 
the Mandrake distro you're using is (relatively) new?  I came across 
documentation on this (sorry, I don't remember where) a few months ago 
when I was having the same problem.  I believe the glibc developers 
made attempts to be backward-compatible but it still introduced 
problems with software that expected errno to be defined a certain way.

My solution was similar to yours, so I guess that's the way to go. :)

FWIW,
