Ok, I PR'd some of that.  Now after updating to the current? tar_files
I get:

sysinst.lo: Undefined symbol `_run_prog_or_continue' referenced from text segment
sysinst.lo: Undefined symbol `_run_prog_or_die' referenced from text segment
sysinst.lo: Undefined symbol `_run_prog_or_die' referenced from text segment
sysinst.lo: Undefined symbol `_run_prog_or_die' referenced from text segment
*** Error code 1

So I assume I need to re-build my libs - but make build currently
dies with 

+ make depend
===> csu
===> csu/i386
===> csu/c++
===> libarch
===> libarch/i386
===> libc
make: don't know how to make Lint_Ovfork.c. Stop
*** Error code 2

Which I understand has been fixed - so I'll wait for it to show
up...
