Oleo seems like a slippery program to compile.

After giving up on a failure to include varargs stuff, I punted and defined
__STDC__ as a CFLAG.  I then got to the CELLDEF vs int conflict in
io_utils.c.  Which got me to the erroneous asm stuff, which finally got me
to link, which gives me the error above.

My latest effort was with GCC 2.3.1 on SunOS 4.1.2.  I installed the GCC,
and there were no errors in the stage 3 compile, nor in fixincludes.  I
previously had gotten to the same place with either GCC 1.42 or Sun's
bundled C.  

I did a grep -n "main *(", which rewarded me with about 5 mains.  I do not
want to have to chase tags or something to find where things are supposed to
start.  Can someone give me a clue?

Remember, is it really free if it costs you a dozen hours at whatever your
consulting rate would be?  I'd still rather have socialist software though.
