"-lcrypt" is missing from the link flags.  Edit ... hmmm,
imap/ANSI/c-client/Makefile and add -lcrypt (and remove -lbsd if it's
there).

It wouldn't be gcc -- it'd be glibc.  If you can log in, your glibc is
probably okay.

(side note: gcc-2.8 is out.  I'd recommend skipping it in favor of
egcs-1.0.1, as egcs produces faster [and most likely more stable] code)

*laugh* I can build you binaries if you want.  I can't give you the ones
I'm using, as they're compiled against a recent glibc-2.1 snapshot (which
worries me -- 2.1 doesn't run very many 2.0-linked binaries).  I do still
have a glibc-2.0.6 system that will serve as a dev box in a pinch ...
