I think I saw this a some point in the distant past.  Since I can't really
remember, let me simply advise:

a) Run the trip test to REALLY see if you've compiled correctly.

b) Make certain that you defined "schar" as "signed char" in site.h.
   This is important.

c) Depending on which release of 'cc' you're using, compiling with -O
   can break parts of both TeX and Metafont.  Try compiling without -O
   first and check that you pass the trip (& trap) tests.
