Summary: Can't compile mined with Minix

I've been attempting to make some minor modifications to mined with
an eye towards taking on the task of adding large file handling.
However, I cannot get mined to recompile successfully using the Minix
compiler.  Perhaps someone can help me with my problems:

1)  When I compile mined, I get many "Unsigned constant expression overflow"
warning messages.  I cannot tell if these warnings are the source of
problem 2).

2) When I execute my newly created mined, I get an unending amount of
"Unexpected trap 16h" messages (quoting from memory--you get the idea).
The system is hung at this point; I have to hardware reset.

Has anyone gotten mined to recompile sucessfully using the Minix compiler?
I have a Sperry PC/IT with 640k memory.  I have compiled many other programs,
including the Minix kernel, successfully.
