er..

These files are only for the unix on Unix PC's and implement the
shared C library.  (Shared libraries are also on SysVr3, but some
of the details are different).

If you don't have them, then don't worry about it.  Especially since
the Makefile as distributed doesn't actually USE those files.

Interestingly, if I re-work the Makefile so that it will use the
shared libraries, the code doesn't compile because of missing symbols.
But then it's already known that the shared stuff is strange,
especially for programs needing curses kind of things.
