I also found the patches that you mentioned posted in the list archive. After I was finally successful in applying them (used the --ignore-whitespace option), I have encountered another problem when I try to make. Make fails and outputs one line: Rules.make:118: *** missing separator. Stop. Reviewing your patches, I did find one which altered line 118 of the Rules.make file. It involves adding the -lelf option to the gcc compile command. I would attach a copy of your patch to this e-mail message, but it wouldn't matter because even when I remove the -lelf option which the patch added, I get the same error message. Any idea about the "*** missing separator" and how to get around it. ps. I applied your patches to the 0.9.53 source. -- william crow
