enquire.c is the least of your problems.  Just put your "good" enquire from
1.39 there when it fails, touch it so it is newer than enquire.c, and keep
on makin'.  Then when you rebuild using the NEW gcc you will be fine and you
will be able to make a new enquire.  The new enquire can't be built with the
old gcc for some reason.

Why 2.4.2?  You should probably move on to 2.4.3.1 before putting in more
effort; it fixes a number of problems in earlier revs o' the week, and has
now lasted for almost **2** weeks!
