 I am using 103 currently.  Apart from `reboot' not working anymore (I
have to press Alt+Ctrl+Del after init brings the machine into runlevel 6)
I see no serious problems.  There is one problem with compilation.  One of
the targets (nsswitch.os, exactly) needs plenty of memory to be compiled. 
I found about 180 MB is just enough for it.  You may try recompiling after
adding more swap.
