The fact that CentOS 3 has a Linux 2.4 kernel is precisely why I tried
compiling Wine on the system.

My motivation was to determine the reason that the reporter of bug 26088
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26088) felt the need to compile
Wine configured with --without-pthread, which doesn't seem to be
something anyone should be doing. CentOS 3 seemed to be a natural
candidate for testing, although later developments revealed that the
reporter's system of concern was actually Debian Sarge.

Given that there are apparently a non-zero number of users wanting to
compile and run at least stable Wine on antique platforms, a few patches
to accommodate such users doesn't seem to be too much trouble. The
sched_setaffinity compile error was the only real blocker for
compilation on CentOS 3, and after fixing it, I was able to at least
successfully launch winecfg.
