I would suggest using 2.95.2.

gdb 5.0: ok
libffi: don't need this on Intel machines, Swarm will use the included avcall
kaffe 1.0.6: should be fine
libpng 1.0.8: should be fine
make 3.79.1: ok
BLT 2.4u: ok
tcl 8.3.1: ok
tk 8.3.1: ok
xpm: IIRC, Paul said that xpm was a part of the Redhat 7 X11 install
zlib 1.1.3: ok

Yeah, those will be updated when there is a new release, and everything
is tested together.

If you're going to do a source build, I'd suggest grabbing the 
current sources from ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/src/testing. 
..lots of bug-fixes.
