Cheap cop-out way that works is to remove/rename the supplied stddef.h, and
use the one supplied with Ultrix 4.0

This is because the line is something like:

#ifdef FOO || defined(KERNEL)

and should be

#if defined(FOO) || defined(KERNEL)

I think it's a little creeping ansi-ism...


>>>   cc1: Invalid option `-g'


The -g problem comes from the fact that as far as I know, not too much
work hasa been completed in allowing GCC to mess around with debugging, because
of MIPS's weird Object file format...  Simplest just to not compile with
-g...
