You cannot really expect to run 9 (in words: nine!) year old software
in the context of a recent operating system.  dependign on your
requirements you should chose between two options:

- Update the development environment to a recent version of the ELDK,
  that supports your (also recent) OS environment.

- Stick with the old development tools, and run it under an OS that
  was recent at the time of the release; if you prefer SuSE, then ELDK
  v3.1.1 (Release date March 2005) should behave fine with SuSE 9.x
  (release dates from Oct 2003 [SuSE 9.0] ... Apr 2005 [SuSE 9.3]).

  If needed, install a virtual machine on your development host, where
  you can then run the older SuSE distro code.  I am aware that there
  will be a performance penalty, but that will still save you lots of
  time compared to trying to get the ancient code running in a current
  distro.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

You can do this in a number of ways.     IBM chose to do all of them.
