Hi, folks.

Thanks to all who responded.  I now have bash up and running (correctly, I  
hope.)  The most useful response (from Frederick Korz) is the bug report  
partially quoted below:
---BEGIN QUOTE---
  It took a few minutes of looking at a comparision between building
bash 1.12 on a NeXTSTEP 2.1 system and a 3.0 system.  Once again
bitten by the great NeXT header file reorganization!
  Here is a copy of the report I submitted.  Bash still has some bugs
(e.g. the pwd builtin and occasional hangs) but is pretty good
othewise.

BTW: I compiled using 'gcc-2.3.1 -g -O2'.  The NeXT supplied should
work too.

  Enjoy

 Subject: configuration bug and fix

  *  bash version 1.12.1

  *  NeXTcube, 68040, 48MB mem + much disk, running NeXTSTEP 3.0

  *  In the 3.0 release of NeXTSTEP, Next reorganized the header files
 somewhat.  The script support/mksysdefs looks for wait.h and
 resource.h, does not find them in the traditional places and concludes
 they do not exist.  The compilation the procedes misconfigured,
 builtins/ulimits.def results in an object that needs ulimit() and the
 compilation fails when linking the final bash executable.

  * repeat by unpacking the 1.12 bash distribution and making

  * fix - the unelegant one is included below.  I have not seriously
 looked at the GNU autoconf-1.2 package.  Would that be better than a
 shell script that admitted pokes around a bit?

This worked for me.  "Your mileage may vary."

My thanks to Frederick, and all others who responded to my plea for help.
