Ah, `dc' was not found and so it fails to set GLIBTOP_LINUX_VERSION_CODE
from the running system.

No. Just tested this with RedHat 5.2 - it does not need a built kernel,
it only requires

	kernel-2.0.36-0.7
	kernel-headers-2.0.36-0.7

Normally <linux/version.h> is created during kernel configuration, but it
is included in the `kernel-headers-2.0.36-0.7' RPM from RedHat 5.2 - I don't
know it this is also the case for kernel 2.0.35.

However, this should work for 2.0.35:

#define UTS_RELEASE "2.0.35"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 131107

Btw.: `dc' is in the bc-1.05a-1 RPM (RedHat 5.2)
