Thank you, that seems to work.  Here's exactly what I did:

1. FTP the comp.tgz set to my SS-10 (I had done an ftp install).
2. su to root
3. rm -rf /usr/include  (this made me flinch)
4. cd /
5. gunzip -c /tmp/comp.tgz | tar xvf -

Now compiles seem to work.  After examining my notes, my SS-10
started out running NetBSD 1.3.2.  I had upgraded to 1.4.1 in Feb of
2000, then upgraded that upgrade to 1.5 January of 2001.  Apparently
something got goofed up in the multiplicity of upgrading.
