This turned out to be a great problem on our system (10.1 with
modified BIND). After some exploration with dde, it turned out
the getloadavg.c file had been changed so that the function
prototypes were no longer used (for proc1_$get... functions).
This was to allow compilation with -N ansi - ie. to allow
Apollo compilers to compile under 10.1 - but the resultant
binaries fall over (at least on our system), because the
function prototypes are essential.

The best fix is to return to version 1.4 (use co) and to put
the following line in the makefile:

CC=cc -U__STDC__

This has worked for us. If anyone else is having trouble, I'd
suggest trying this.

PS. I've yet to try the 1.4.3 IDA .cf generation yet, but this
is less machine dependent.
