No, it's not bogus.  I can trace it right to the line in the header
file where it comes from.  What's happening is that something is
tricking the make process into thinking that it is trying to compile a
linux version of the libraries and it doesn't find the right stuff for
being on linux.  But like I said, my Windows 98 installation is
identical to the one on the Windows 95 machine which is compiling the
libraries just fine.  Go figure.
