|   When I do a make it is all fine until

|   util.c: In function memcmp:

|   Stop.

|   Anyone else out there on a DECStation running ULTRIX 4.1 that can tell

|   stop it.  Help.   thanks.

Interesting. I just sucked down 4.3 from jpl and compiled it with no
errors. I took all the assorted defaults - including the -0limit 2900

cc -c `sh cflags.SH util.o` util.c
          CFLAGS =  -DLANGUAGE_C -Olimit 2900 -O

since I don't have gcc up on this system (DECstation 5000/200 Ultrix 4.1 -
including a patch for a bug in sh related to an interaction with find.)

However, I get 4 failures in the test suite.

op/eval........FAILED on test 9

op/groups......FAILED on test 1

op/s...........FAILED on test 40

lib/big........../lib/bigint.pl did not return a true value at ./lib/big.t line 2.
FAILED on test 0
Failed 4 tests.
*** Error code 9 (ignored)

Now all I have to do is see what works and doesn't work.
