The second is simple. The link "acldir" in server/acldir shouldn't
exist; remove it.
The first really impresses me. I wouldn't have thought that hc --
even the latest -- would deal with trigraphs! The compiler is
perfectly correct to complain; according to ANSI C rules, the code is
incorrect. Replace both "??" sequences with single "?" characters.
You can expect slightly odd results from code that contains "??"
followed by any of "=(/)'<!>-" -- the trigraph mechanism replaces
these sequences with single characters needed by C but not present in
some ISO character set. This particular one is probably the worst --
"??/" becomes '\', which causes the immediately following '"' to be
included in the string, and all goes downhill from there.
