There is what I consider a BUG in 'cc.c'.  It does not pass the '-T' (specify
termporary directory) flag to asld.  I fixed this by placing an 
"append(&ASLD_FLAGS, str);" after the "case 'T':" in cc.c. Then the "-T."
in the Makefile will then be passed through to asld.  Space in the current
directory is another issue if you're compiling off of floppies (I've found
a hard disk to be necessary for recompiling Minix).
