You probably won't get a heap of responses to this ! 2.1.0 is pretty
old now by most peoples standards. Even for the people that still
have 2.1.0, picking up the correct compiler files is probably a
daunting task.
You may be better off biting the bullet and doing an upgrade. I'd
recommend 2.2.2. Solid as a rock as far as I can tell (but then,
I'm comparing it to -current which on occasion gives me ulcers !).
