gcc-2.95.3: FAILS
needs CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash SHELL=/bin/bash --enable-languages=c --disable-nls --disable-multilib
fix Makefile. remove c++ from LANGUAGES libiberty: size_t is declared in <stddef.h> mkstemp.c | size_t setenv.c | size_t, NULL undefined
failes with internal compiler error 4
gawk 3.0.6:
protos.h typedef int mode_t; config.h: #undef STRTOD
NEWS-OS doesn't know about struct dirent
NEWS-OS has buggy tolower() and topper().

include/autoconf.h # define DECL_FREE 1 # define DECL_MALLOC 1 # define DECL_REALLOC 1
add to pcre/pcre_globals.c:
extern void *malloc(size_t); extern void *realloc(void *, size_t); extern void free(void *);
pcre/dftables.c: NEWS-OS3.3 fopen() doesn't understand argument "wb", but fails silently, rather then giving an error message. Change to "w+"
also needs tolower and toupper fixes.

NEWS-OS doesn't have dirent.h. Replace #include dirent.h with sys/dir.h in ctags/ctags.c
won't compile ctags. don't use ctags. vim alone works.
