I have finally (after fighting with a "patch" that didn't work properly and
finally grabbing the binary from bugs this morning -- btw, most of the
Internet seemed to be down last night ;-) gotten Minix 1.2 onto my system
and begun compiling it.  I got libc.a built and started on the kernel -- and
hit a problem.  It couldn't find _get_bas, _send, _receive, and _sendrec in
libc.a.

I thought it might be the usual library ordering problem, but now I don't
think so.  I moved the relevant routines to the end of the library and
rebuilt -- no effect.  I added apparently missing .define statements to both
.s files and rebuilt -- it now finds _get_bas, but still can't find the
message routines.

I'm stuck.  Does anyone out there have any suggestions?  I would like to get
it up as soon as possible, make sure it works, then start over with the 1.3
patches and install those (then do the 1.4a patches which are already
waiting on ncoast).

Thanks in advance,
++Brandon
(P.S.  Reordering /lib/libc.a is a real trip.  Oh, for a working lorder and
tsort!  And a working shell that doesn't come up with "cannot execute" when
I try to fake it...  See why I want to upgrade?)
