So I created a virtualbox of arch linux.  I just got the base and base-devel
installed.  Then downloaded the MBSE source for 1.0.6 and did the SETUP.sh and
then a configure and make then make install.  After remembering to set the
MBSE_ROOT it all worked well.  I then copied over all of my BBS files and did
some tests.  I wasn't getting any buffer overflow errors anywhere where I was
before.

So by the looks of things I'm going to be switching to arch linux.  It's not 
my
 favorite distro but it has the best of both the package management of
Ubuntu/Mint (just no good graphical one) and the customization like Gentoo
(just doesn't compile the program on the fly).  I maybe should have went with
Slackware.  It's been 10 years since I ran that one.

I'm hoping to have most everything up and running in a couple of days.  It's
just going to take a while to get everything moved over and setup (like DNS 
and
DHCP for my internal network)  Plus I need to setup a nice X11 environment
again.
