I had the same reaction when I first looked at Earl's package :-).

If has been a while since I compiled it, so my memory is abit fuzzy
as the mechanics, but I believe that attached files should get you started.
Right, wrong, or indifferent, the files are the 'config.h' and 'site.h' 
I used to make the package.    

I highly recommend Earl's package if you are trying to port *nix code
to Minix -- the standard Minix library just has too many limitations.

If anyone out there would like to integrate a floating point library,
you would be perforing a great service to the group.  All the hooks
are present, so it shouldn't be to difficult if you are familar with
the organization of fp librarys.
