Has anybody managed to bring up akcl under Unix System V on
an Intel 386 based machine.  It appears that there are defs
to do just that in the akcl distribution, but when I try
making it I get compilation warnings in some of the modules
and then a fatal crash in linking the library.

The warnings involve functions: L21, L20, L53, L9, and L7,
and state that they were first declared implicitly `extern'
and later `static.'  This happens in files: describe.c,
seqlib.c, and cmplam.c.

And then there is:
ld fatal: fail to write symbol name shortfloat in string table for file raw_kcl

after which the whole thing dies not having found raw_kcl.

If someone has any explanations, hints, and/or patches to
help with thesis problems then I would very much appreciate
hearing from you.  Send mail to witold@cs.washington.edu

Thanks,
Witold
