Help! I've gotten almost all the way through the minix386 tutorial, and the
kernel built with no problems, but now I can't get shoelace to compile. The
file shoe.c wants to include varargs.h, which is not in my (PH1.5)
distribution. Should I grab a generic one from a sun box? is there a more
recent version of shoelace (I have 1.5)?

Actually, though, I'd rather avoid shoelace, as I do a fair bit of
kernel-building. Has anyone gotten the normal build process working with
this setup? Or does shoelace actually cut down turnaround time? (It took me
less than 4 minutes to compile FS, 'make image', and reboot on my 386 befor
I started this endeavor!)

Any help much appreciated!
