I posted, a year or so ago, my handstands doing Makefiles on another
machine to get R2 (server only) built on DN3000.  Well, yes, the long
lines problem in the compiler got fixed in SR10 so it was possible to
unbreak cpp so that imake works (as far as I can tell). (actually cc 6.00)

Nope except to say that the same limit is on SR10 so don't get
hopeful.  I always imagined it to be related to the maximium number of
pseudoterminals, namely 16.  It is running out of some kind of resource,
maybe someone at Apollo will see this and comment or even offer a patch!

While we are all interested in Apollo problems, anybody (Casey?) know
where the /sys/ins/base.ins.c and /sys/ins/time.ins.c included in the 
XTOP/lib/Xaw/Load.c is supposed to be?  I haven't found it yet.  Is this
a work-around hack left over from SR9.7 and/or did I miss one of the patches
which (thanks, Casey!) came over xpert?

On another topic, I have an error message while linking Xapollo:
	ld libapc.a fatal: bad relocation format
I called the HOTLINE and was told that I was the second one today
with this kind of message.  Stay tuned for the outcome.  There was
mention of a patch tape being made for ld(1)...

TIA
