  This is because the A/UX assembler is as braindead as the A/UX compiler.
(Maybe someday the AT&T chaps will learn how to use malloc and not use
fixed-size tables.  Maybe.)  Compiling with -g causes the assembler to
overflow its tables, hence the "symbol table stack" overflow.  As the old
joke goes, "It hurts when I do that" "Don't do that!".  Taking out the -g
flag will allow you to compile successfully.  (The "Warning: Table overflow"
messages don't appear to affect anything.)
