Well, let's see...
The *base* version of Mandrake 8.1 ships with the following:
gcc 2.96
gcc 3.0.1 (I think)
glibc 2.2.4
autoconf 2.13
automake 1.4-20.p5
binutils 2.11.90.0.8
Kernel 2.4.8 (or 2.2.19)
Base 8.2 ships with
gcc 2.96
gcc 3.04
autoconf 2.13 and/or autoconf 2.52
automake 1.4 and/or automake 1.5
binutils 2.11.92.0.12
kernel 2.2.18 (or 2.2.20)
I know that there have been updates since then, specifically glibc has
been bumped to 2.2.5.
