I think the problem has to do with a bug in the CC shell script which
just happens to work on a SYSV or 4.2BSD system but breaks on 4.3.  When
the top-level makefile says
	CC -O -DBSD -o munch -c lib/static/munch.c
It eventually exececutes
	cc -c -o munch munch..c
On some systems, the -o is ignored and the outputfile is munch..o.  4.3
does not ignore it, and puts the output file in 'munch', hence, further
processing on munch..o breaks.  Here are the diffs of the change I
made to CC.  It also fixes a bug which BSD 'test' has had for some time.
