Why not upgrade the machine in question to a newer version of Slackware?

That command will not work. Comes up with no such file. Without the -* it shows the rights for the gcc file. However there are 3 files with gcc name in that directory. gcc, gcc g77, gcc objc are the three files the following is the content of gcc

If i install the 9.4 will that still teach me what i need to admin this live dns server?
yes, and probably there will be much less pain if you install a slackware 13.1 and test there.
replicating your work setup is another request, I think...
maybe end doing one task and then start the other, is better if you're starting

I share the same opinion. It will be much easier to configure bind on latest slackware than trying to compile bind on 8.0. If the machine is used only for bind.

That's
9 year old code, running on a
2.2.19 kernel and glibc 2.2.3.
I don't remember if the annotated reference manual came with the Slackware 8.0 install. (It might be in the /usr/doc/bind-??/arm directory.) Since the canonical site only goes back to BIND 9.4, you might just be out of luck.
(I would not be terribly surprised if BIND 9.4 failed to compile against glibc 2.2.3 using gcc 2.95.3.)
Good luck. I can't help you. Sorry.
