	I haven't been doing much OS-hacking on my pc532, but I try to
keep it relatively current. In the last couple of months, I've had to
add "-DLOCORE" to the compiler switches for compiling genassym.c -
without this, I got error messages about unresolved external
references, and the symbols listed were declared in
../pc532/include/psl.h, in a block protected by an "#ifndef LOCORE".
This may or may not be the right solution ;-)

	Another thing about psl.h: Last night I decided to build the
libraries, and I got an error message about
../src/lib/libc/arch/ns32k/exect.S (the path may be wrong, I'm working
from memory here.) The error message was about an "unknown opcode" in
/usr/include/machine/psl.h, line 72. When I checked this, I found it
was a definition of "struct iv" - I have no problem understanding that
this is not strictly kosher assembly syntax...  Anyway, just below
this there was an "#ifdef _KERNEL", so I moved it up in front of the
structure definition, and that was sufficient to let me build exext.o.

	I'm quite amazed at the amount of stuff that builds cleanly on
the pc532. At the moment I have nethack 3.1.3, xemacs 19.12, emacs
19.28, perl 4.036 and perl 5.001m, bash, tex, metafont and a lof other
interesting stuff. I use my pc532 for connecting to work (via SLIP),
and it has not given me any problems. Wonderful! The only fly in the
ointment is that I have been unable to compile gcl due to a compiler
error.
