	Here are some problems I'm running into with Minix cc.c:

	(A) I got cc, cem, cg, and cpp, the executables, off of bugs.nosc.mil.
	What are these for?  I mean are these for the 1.2 C compiler?  They
	are updates of some kind.  I believe them to be the much touted 1.2
	compiler.  Right?  Wrong?  Help?

	(B) I applied the patches to my cc.c from Minix 1.1.  I then 
	found out that the new patched 1.2 was broken went to bugs to find
	out how to fix it and fixed it.  So I'm using the fixed-diffed cc.c
	from Minix 1.1 (which I am calling cc 1.2) with the Minix 1.1 cem,
	cg, and cpp, and I'm desperately trying
	to re-build libc.a.  I've got the ordering OK.  However, when I
	re-build libc.a with the new sources from libsrc.a, I get the 
	following compiler message (actually asld, but filtered thru cc):

	unresolved references:
	  .dsret
	  .cret
	  .sret

	Much better output than before I fixed the libsrc .s files which 
	forgot the .defines, but the only references I can find of these
	"unresolved references" is cret in csv.s.  But it isn't .cret, it's
	cret, and putting a .define didn't help at all.

	OK, so I figure I'll try a new approach.  This time I unpack and
	compile libsrc stuff first then I unpack the original libc.a.  Now
	whenever I compile, I get:

	unresolved references:
	.cret

	We're one up!!!  But what the hello is going on?  Can anyone tell me
	what's wrong so I can get my compiler fixed and Minix 1.2 compiled?

	Any help will be APPRECIATED!!  You should see the dents in my head!!!!

	PLEASE (PRETTY PLEASE) post or send email to:
