In addition to this bug there may be another problem:
An old portio.c which is in assembly language and fails to use /dev/mem
is in the lib/ibm directory.  When I built libc.a this got included
instead of the one in lib/other.  I've now removed the old portio.c
from the library.  I'll bet that other people also have these duplicate
names in their /lib since the many sibdirectories make this more
likely.
