The in the next article which I don't know how to read in to THIS followup
someone states that "of course you could do that on a 3b1, but what
about ....."

I have done exactly the mentioned above things and nethack works for me
(and my distracted group) on a 3b20 and an amdahl-big_thing.
Save I din't have to remove the optimization of any file.
I was quite impressed by how well it did compile on these machines.

I even have a new-make makefile if anyone out there wants that...
