   [problems installing AKCL under SVR3; compilation aborts with
   some bizarre error message]

From memory (I installed AKCL a couple of years ago): these kinds of
strange errors can happen when the relative dates on the distribution
are wrong. If you unpacked AKCL before unpacking the KCL distribution,
and you did not allow/instruct tar (depending on your version of tar)
to set the file dates correctly, most change files will be older than
their corresponding source files and will not get applied.
