I'm trying to build the TeX distribution from the Washington UNIX
tape. I obtained the tape from Aston University in the U.K. The files
seem to be dated at 24th March 1990. 

I encounter a problem when I reach the compilation of gftodvi.c in the
"mfware" directory. The compilation fails with the following message:

sibyl-(aro) 274 # cc -v -Dlink=link_array -I.. -c gftodvi.c
/lib/cpp -I.. -undef -Dunix -Dsun -Dsparc -Dlink=link_array gftodvi.c
>/tmp/cpp.
07022.0.i
/lib/ccom - </tmp/cpp.07022.0.i >/tmp/ccom.07022.1.s
"gftodvi.c", line 2279: yacc stack overflow
rm /tmp/cpp.07022.0.i
rm /tmp/ccom.07022.1.s
sibyl-(aro) 275 # 

This is compiling on a Sparcstation 1, running SunOS 4.0.3c, using the
standard C compiler. (No, I'm afraid I don't have gcc for the sparc
yet).

Any ideas?
