No, it doesn't. Unless I'm stupidly misinterpreting what Marc
is trying to do.

Just compile the assembly code with NO_UNDERSCORES defined using
Ultrix as, and _C_LABEL() should ``do the right thing'' for
compiling with the MipsCo toolset shipped with Ultrix.  If it doesn't,
then _C_LABEL() needs to be applied in more places.  Just be sure to
use an ECOFF toolset, or the a.out toolset, consistently, define
NO_UNDERSCORES approppriately, and everything __should__ be fine.

Adam Glass' instructons in the BUILD file are grossly out of date;
they date back to before I'd hacked on the pmax port to get it
bootstrapped, and submitted a slew changes to the previous port
maintainer.

I thought I'd sent a message to Ted about the problems in pmax/cons.c
and machdep.c already.  I vouch for Marc's report of the problem; but
cons.c needs to have its "fp" *argument* removed, too.  Simply
reverting to the previous RCS/CVS revision is the right thing to do.
microtime() should indeed be defined to return ``void''.
