  I'm trying to compile xv 2.21 under Linux 0.99.6. gcc can make the
libjpeg.a just fine, but it runs out of memory and dumps when I attempt
to make libtiff.a. Since I have 12M RAM and a 10M swap partition, this
must either be a gcc bug or bad options.
  I was able to get tcsh to compile by using -DVMS_POSIX, but xv,
while supplying a variety of Makefiles, does not include one for POSIX
or Linux. I had very little trouble compiling this same program on the
SGI's at work. Could someone point me in the right general direction?

  I'm also having major problems get sat-track to compile. This time,
everything compiles but the link generates an enormous list of
"Unrecognized symbol _<blah> referenced in text segment". This code
has no system-dependent makefiles, just the basic makefile, and it compiles
fine on a Sun Sparc.
