You have given the answer already. The problem is that the objective-C
code is included from a "plain C" program who's filename ends with ".c".
Since NextStep 3.0 (really: since GNU-C 1.whatever) the compiler just
forgets all he knows about objective-c _if_ the source file has the
".c"-Extension. So to provide the compiler with knowledge of object 
oriented c programming" one has to use the correct extension.

Workaround: rename "term.c" (if mind serves...) to "term.m", edit the
Makefile accordingly. (Thanks to Frank Siegert who found this out.)

Best regards,

Andreas.
