This is most of the reason why I hate the Linux ELF system.  Can we,
the SIPB Linux-Athena developers, decide on what Linux/ELF system we
plan to support?  We really need to make this decision.  For example,
the Linux ELF installation script installs 5.0.9, not 5.2.x.  This
means that binaries we compile need to work on 5.0.9 (and if they work
with 5.2.x as well, thats fine too).
