The -m68020 option is used with Sun's (and maybe other machines) to indicate
to the compiler what machine type to compile code for. Sun also uses a
-m68881 flag to indicate floating-point co-processor.

As someone else already pointed out, the dbm library does not exist in
System V. There is a pd implementation in the comp.sources.unix archive
(sorry, I don't have the vol/issue number handy).

I only compiled it, but did not go to the trouble to startup the daemons,
etc. to verify that all worked well.  Usually, if a game compiles it executes
OK.  I will look forward to posting some official patches from the author
(are you out there?).
