When compiling GENERICAH (i.e., "config GENERICAH", cd to GENERICAH directory,
"make depend", then "make") I find I have to restart make numerous times when
it fails with errors that aren't there. Many of these are of the form of
finding a character 0177 that isn't there.
The system is just being upgraded from 1.1 RELEASE to 1.1.5.1 (need bad144 for
the large old ESDI drive used for home directories); I've tried installing
twice, the second time from a completely new set of files ftp'd from
gatekeeper.dec.com, same problem.
The system is an old 386DX20, 8MB, Adaptec 1542B/Wren VI primary, WD1007V/
Miniscribe (remember them?) 660MB ESDI, Archive Viper.

("gottttw" does not exist in sio.c; there is a "go" in that line.)
I suppose that it may be time to finally buy that new motherboard, unless
someone has some other idea.
The system works perfectly, other than this.
