	This is a real wild guess, as I haven't even read the 2.0
documentation yet, but with 2.0 Ultrix's default C compiler is no
longer the standard run-of-the-mill portable C compiler.  (It's still
available on the system for kernel building, however.)  Could it be
that the way DEC's new C compiler (it's the Ultrix port of the VAX/VMS
C compiler) spits out error messages, or the way it's invoked is
screwing up the GNU compile command?

	Just a thought...
