A version of elm is included with 7.0, so we didn't bother trying
to compile the netware. I don't know about Bnews.

rn and perl both go fairly smoothly.  perl (version 3, patchlevel 8)
contains a couple of files (eval.c and toke.c, I think) which give the
global optimizer fits (you need about 100 MB of swap and many cpu
hours if you REALLY want to optimize) and I compiled those files with +O1.
