   I just ftped this last week and built it on the sun 3.  I only made
   simple pathname changes in the makefile before building it.  As you can see
   the version is 0.99

   perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 88=> bash -version
   GNU bash, version 0.99
   perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 1=> which gcc
   /usr/local/bin/gcc
   perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 2=> mkdir gcc
   perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 3=> gcc
   gcc: is a directory
   perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 4=> rmdir gcc
   perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 5=> gcc
   gcc: No source or object files specified.

   ;rob

Please send me `printenv`.
