I haven't started building 1.3c yet, but I'm most of the way through
1.3b.  A grep for SECONDARY_VECTOR in my 1.3b/kernel directory revealed:

const.h.rej:! #define SECONDARY_VECTOR  11      /* RS232 interrupt
vector for port 2 */
main.c:  set_vec(SECONDARY_VECTOR, secondary_int, base_click);

Closer examination of const.h and const.h.rej showed that the 1.3b diff
for const.h tried to remove the line defining SECONDARY_VECTOR, but
patch rejected it.  Since SECONDARY_VECTOR is used in kernel/main.c, is
it safe to assume that the const.h diff was backwards?  The 1.3b
kernle/main.c diff *added* the reference to SECONDARY_VECTOR!
