Hmm rellay difficult to solve ....

For your mandrake : make in a term "make > error" and send me (to my
personnal mail) the file call error
What version of brickOS do you use ? I know that there are error with
the gcc 3.X so try (like you sugest) the 2.95

For Debian : you need to compile the math.c with the kernel and put the
math.h in the include file .... In legOS 0.2.6 you only need to add a
line in the makefile in the boot directory ! but I don't know if it's
the same in last version.

Or an other way is to use legnoppix ;-)
