I re-did the configure and then remembered I had to add lz but it
didn't work via configure, I must be doing it wrong, so I hacked
the makefile for now.

It all built but won't sync with the Palm Treo.

bash-2.05a# ./pilot-xfer -b ~/backup/

   Listening for incoming connection on /dev/ttyS3... connected!

   Error read system info on /dev/ttyS3



Using the old sparemint version it works ok, so I can eliminate any
hardware issues.

bash-2.05a# /n/usr/bin/pilot-xfer -b ~/backup
Waiting for connection on /dev/ttyS3 (press the HotSync button now)...
Connected
Backing up '/home/backup/rtplan1115.pdb'... OK
Backing up '/home/backup/rtplan65.pdb'... OK
Backing up '/home/backup/rtplan715.pdb'... OK
etc.

On bsd/linux the fix always pointed at the kernel so I was going to
try strace to see what was happening.

Is there an strace binary for Mint ?
