This is probably pretty trivial, but I haven't found any trace of a FAQ file,
and I'm new to fiddling with make files, etc:

I followed the instructions with GNU Emacs 18.55 to build it by modifying the
Makefile supplied, but get the following error, which isn't covered in the
PROBLEMS file.

This is being done on a DECStation 3100, running Worksystem 2.1 (I'm not sure
which version of Ultrix that means we have, but I think it's 3.1).
