Thanks for your "misc patches". When applying them it highlighted a problem
with the makefile in /usr/src/commands/mac. This makefile appears to be a
direct copy of the makefile in /usr/src/commands, and while it is ok for
making simple commands (commands with a single source file), all the more
complex programs need "improved" makefiles (possibly the wrong makefiles were
included in the Minix release???) (this is quite a few makefiles).

If anybody is interested I can post or mail the makefile I created to make
maccreate and macfile. It is a bit of a "frig" (UK English terminology,
I don't know how USA English would say it). Also it is probably not the
"optimum" solution. (My way of saying that it could be improved)
