I'm using an AT&T 3B2/300, and although I got NetHack to compile with few
problems, when I run it, it gets as far as to let you choose the class of
character you want to play.  Immediately thereafter it says 'memory fault'
and dies.

In the Makefile (Makefile.att), the files were linked using 'ld' directly
rather than through the default pass the C compiler makes.  Since 'ld' does
not search the C libraries when called directly, this stage bombed out.
To fix this, I just passed all of the .o files to the C compiler myself
and it linked without problem.  Did they need to be linked with 'ld' directly
for some reason?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Roger
