Not only Crack, but some applications like nmap etc did not want to
compile under Red Hat 5.x (I tried under 5.0). The solution was to use old
headers from libc5-devel package. So now I have two directories
/usr/include: /usr/include_1 and /usr/include_2
one with RH5.1 headers and another with those from libc5-devel and I use
either one or another, this depends on what application I am compiling.
Probably this is not the best solution but it works.
