In the fixincludes shell script, in GCC 1.35:

	# Determine whether this system has symbolic links.
	if ln -s X $LIB/ShouldNotExist 2>/dev/null; then

is done before

	mkdir $LIB > /dev/null 2>&1

so, if this was the first run of fixincludes, $LIB won't exist, so the
ln will fail, and the system will appear not to have symbolic links.
Fix: move the "mkdir" up above the "if ln".

	if egrep -s '[ 	]_IO[A-Z]*\(|#define._IO|CTRL' $file; then

system V egrep has no '-s' switch.
Fix: for portability, eliminate -s and add ">/dev/null".
