So, I take it that you're saying the installed
VL64-6.0-STD-A0.9.iso didn't have the same results
for gcc, ld, and uname.  Sigh...

Well, I began wondering if I kept the wrong iso image.
That would be bad.  So, I did a more thorough check for
saved .iso's.

I have two CD-R's labeled:
  "Vector Linux 5.0"
  "Vector Linux V.7 64-bit"

I don't know which .iso images those correspond to.
Obviously, I installed from the version 7 image.

I have the following .iso's on another drive where
I generally archive them:
  VL6.0-STD-Gold.iso
  VL6.0-Light-Final.iso
  VL64-6.0-STD-A0.9.iso

I also have the following .iso's on this machine:
  VL64-7.0.1-STD-FINAL.iso  (downloaded yesterday)
  VL7.0-LIGHT.iso

So, maybe, it wasn't the  VL64-6.0-STD-A0.9.iso,
but the VL7.0-LIGHT.iso image.  If so, I'm sorry
about causing you extra work.  Although, I don't
see anything saying VL7.0-LIGHT is 64-bits...

VL7.0-LIGHT.iso
  sha1sum 343180ea5c17bb561547475b18df14d108f0e210
  md5sum 8dda595365e1c9e244fc1c54b86ba0a6

The "VL 7.0 Light Edition" link on the Vector Linux
download page has the same sums.  You could try that
image.
http://vectorlinux.com/downloads

If that version doesn't show the issue, then I'll have to
learn how to retrieve the .iso image from my CD-R in Linux
to determine which .iso image it was.

Unfortunately, I don't currently know how to retrieve the
.iso image from my CD-R in Linux to compare with the
available .iso's.

Also, I'm unsure if a retrieved image will be identical
to the original used to burn it.  Will the retrieved
image be the same as the original?  E.g., name change,
etc.  If not, sections of the images that could've been
changed by the burning software would need to be masked
or cleared out prior to binary comparison.

The machine the CD-R was burned on had software to
create .iso images from CD's, but it no longer has
the necessary hardware.  My old IDE drive died on
my Windows 98/SE machine and the new hardware is SATA.
SATA is not supported in Windows 98/SE.
