Further to this, I have now succeeded in getting "doit.bin" to work, without
any special tricks. I re-ran "build", having decided to change a couple of
the original settings. For reasons I cannot adequately explain, doit.bin -i
worked for me next time around. I am almost certain I answered "no" to
build's "...<string.h>..." question the first time around, but it looks as
if it failed to pick up the built-in string.h functions. It certainly has
picked them up now, so all is A-OK at this time.
