S on Pyramids

[eric at mimsy.umd.edu]

	I am trying to build S (the statistical package) on a Pyramid 98x.
Currently, it is objecting because it tries to do a load, with
newfun/lib/defer.z, which is not a Pyramid object file. Further, nothing
seems to generate newfun/lib/defer.z, at least as far as I have been
able to decipher the various shell scripts, make's, and other apparatus that
they have put together to do a re-compile. Does anyone have a list of the
tricks and changes necessary to make S run on a Pyramid? Has anyone been
successful in getting it up? If I am having this much trouble just getting
it to compile, I can hardly wait to see what problems I have with byte
order, varargs, etc. I would greatly appreciate any pointers that anyone can
give me. Thanks.
