I only just cvs checkout'ed the source for the first time a few days ago.
I have 1.50 of files.sparc64 which cvs (and cvsweb) are claiming are the
newest versions but it still contains reference to simba.c on line 53.

GENERIC32 on the other hand has the simba lines commented out. Alas I
based my config file on POWEROFSEVEN as the comments indicated it was for
the same model machine as the one I'm using.

I refetched all the files anyway.

No more references :-) I'm just compiling GENERIC now and all seems to be
well. I'll let you know how I go.

Thanks for all your help,
