It's a bit much to expect it to compile with MSC. And every programmer
must be able to fixed "unresolved external" errors in their sleep.

It seems that the static allocation bug is biting again. The kernel
compiles with Minix cc only because PRIVATE's aren't? This bug is less
forgivable than distribution glitches.
