(1) You need to add another layer of braces to nlist vectors
before they'll compile, e.g.
	{ { "_avenrun" } },
[I suggest using  #if[n]def NeXT  conditionals as warranted]

(2) Mining load average out of kmem is the WRONG approach on the
NeXT.  A better way is to use the table() call, which also
doesn't require exceptional access privileges.  This example
ought to be in the programmers' FAQ; the question seems to come
up about every other month.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/table.h>
main() {
	struct tbl_loadavg avg;

	(void)table(TBL_LOADAVG, 0, (caddr_t)&avg, 1, sizeof avg);
	(void)printf("load average:%5.2f,%5.2f,%5.2f\n",
		(double)avg.tl_avenrun[0]/(double)avg.tl_lscale,
		(double)avg.tl_avenrun[1]/(double)avg.tl_lscale,
		(double)avg.tl_avenrun[2]/(double)avg.tl_lscale);
	exit(0);
}
