(sorry for delay in responding...)  As you have glibc 2.2, I would 
suggest you use the older ppp binary thats linked against 2.1 (the one 
from the DM-3.1 distribution, not NW-9).  In /lib directory, make a 
symbolic link for libc-2.x.y.so as to satisfy the version that ppp 
wants.  Should only need one link...

I have no experience with the CompuLab versions.  As for the netwinder 
packages, they are all native compiled.
