Trying to put gcc on a MicroVax running Ultrix

Can anyone out there give me some pointers on installing gcc on the above
mentioned machine?  I've tried both versions 1.37.1 and 1.40 and I run into
identical problems.  The scenario is as follows:

o I do a config.gcc vaxv - OK
o I edit the Makefile as best I can - kinda OK
o I do a make and it cranks away for several minutes
-> I get an "HZ undefined" in toplev.c  (definately not OK)
   o I grep high and low for HZ and finally uncover a mention of it in
     sys/cpuconf.h, however,
   o I am unable to resolve the HZ thing with include files so I just go
     ahead and define it in toplev.c
   o I make again.  It cranks along again for some time.
   -> Boom.  "Can't find included file syms.h" from sbdout.c (I think).
      o I scrounge around and see that some other header file might function
	as a substitute, but get nowhere experimenting.  I finally comment 
	this stuff out.
      -> things get too kludgey and error messages pour forth.

I put gcc-1.40 on a Sun a few months ago and couldn't get over how smoothly
it went.  Now I've spent the better part of a day noodling with the f-ing
MicroVax, but to no avail.

In sorrow and pain,

Jim
