As quoted from <4425@mhres.mh.nl> by jv@mhres.mh.nl (Johan Vromans):
+---------------
| I encountered two configure problems after upgrading to pl12.
| 
|  1. The check for 'volatile' does not take the compiler flags into
|     account. Most notably, "gcc" supports volatile, "gcc -traditional"
|     does not.
|     This may also apply to other test-programs.
+---------------

Add one more gcc-related problem:  it assumed that rename() exists on telotech
(haven't built perl here on ncoast yet) when I used gcc, but not when I used
cc (pcc).

I also encountered the -lPW/fatal() bug.

(System: Altos 486/1000 running Altos System V 5.3eT0.  Call it System V
release 3.1.)
