Whoops, I forgot about that, and sent email to the original enquirer
telling him that Configure took care of everything.  Sorry.

What I really do is this:

1.  Run Configure, letting it figure everything out for itself.  (I
    should probably add -lmalloc to the list of libs, but I don't do
    that and Configure doesn't find it for itself, so perl ends up using
    the standard malloc from libc.)

2.  make depend.

3.  Run this little 'Pre-make' script to make some of the objects using
    different CFLAGS.  The standard set of CFLAGS (including '-O') works
    fine on all the other object files not mentioned in this script.  I
    suspect that -O might also work on the objects mentioned here, if
    you have enough physical memory or enough time to wait; on our
    HP9000/370 with 8 Meg of memory, compiling these with '-O' makes the
    VM system thrash the disk for hours (yes, hours).

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Make some things with different CFLAGS.   --apb
	#
	# Run this before running a normal make.
	#
	make "CFLAGS=+O1 +Nw500" eval.o teval.o
	make "CFLAGS=+O1" toke.o ttoke.o
	(cd x2p ; make "CFLAGS=+O1" walk.o)

4.  Now run a make.
