I have had the following problems:

  1) ls - (I know people have had problems but ...)
        Compiling (assembling) gave a symbol defined twice (_21).
        I got ls compiled by editing an unpacked ls.s to change 
        _21 to __21.

        It works nicely except for using the -l switch.   It really
        gets messed up.  Has anyone had similar problems and know the
        fix?

  2) kermit - asld runs out of memory.  Does any one have an executable
        they were able to make?  (I even tried to cross compile it using
        the ACK and had problems.)

There were also some strange things happening with old programs.  Ones
that I could not recompile and link on 1.5.3.  The utility file
reports that asld and elle are combined I & D.  Is there available copies
of these executables that were linked with the newer library?

Thanks,
