 Erm, I had about 25mb free on / at the time.

 Okay, call me dumb, but what's the difference between `gcc' and `cc' as
far as RiscBSD is concerned? Why doesn't gcc recognise the `-Ox' options?

 Right. I'll scrounge Linux source tree for this.

 for i in /usr/lib/lib*; do echo $i; nm $i | grep tputs; done
 [several _tputs, no tputs]

 It's certainly not in any library I've got. Perhaps this is related to the
fact that the comp set I used (the one in the 1.2-release directory) didn't
expand `libm.a'...

 Okay, thanks. Must be something playing up.
