Problem with xstr

Unless you use a pdp11 with separate  I/D space, the solution is to just
throw out all  the xstr stuff from your makefiles,  and compile normally
instead.

Xstr is a hack for putting  strings, which are supposed to be read-only,
into the executable's  text (code) space. This makes more  room for data
on  machines  with  limited  address space.  On  32-bit  machines,  this
approach is obsolete and causes more trouble than benefit.
