I downloaded yesterday's source (1997-02-17) and ran config again.
The kernel compiled but the last ld would not run, reporting
"virtual memory exhausted".  This happened across all of my Sun3
machines.  Could gcc/ld be causing the kernel to compile with
errors and and so be unable to call init?

I imagine that this problem with ld is a problem in GNU compiler
distribution (because I've read in this list many complaints about
things that did not compile with one flag or another), right?  Is
there any patched version available?  I built the latest ld from
the source tree and it did not work either.
