ps looks for "/usr/src/kernel/kernel" "/usr/src/mm/mm" and "/usr/src/fs/fs"
by default.  On the ST these all end in ".mix".  You must either modify the
code to look for the ".mix" files or link the the files to the names ps wants.
The source code mods are very trival because #defines are used.  Also
you must compile the kernel.mix mm.mix & fs.mix without stripping the 
symbol tables.  Once you can get ps to work you may use the "-U" option
to generate a small file called "/etc/psdatabase" and rm the ".mix" files.
