Here is what I get with the head of the dec*.h headers

docalpha:GENERIC {105} head dec*.h

#define NDEC_21000      0

==> dec_3000_300.h <==
#define NDEC_3000_300   1

#define NDEC_3000_500   1

Here is what I get when I make the second time (first time generates
lots of stuff then failes here -- the second make starts off where
it failed last time)

The make and config are pretty much uptodate.

What are the files which normally contain these defines?
