Hi,

I've got a 486/80 running a Slackware 2.0 distribution with the Linux
1.2.13 kernel.

I went throught the standard autoconfiguration procedure, and had
trouble making zephyr. The exact error message was:

(fiddlehead)~/src/zephyr-2.0.4> make
for i in lib clients server zhm; do (cd $i; make  all) || exit 1; done
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pbanerji/src/zephyr-2.0.4/lib'
for i in et ss dyn zephyr; do (cd $i; make -w all) || exit 1; done
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pbanerji/src/zephyr-2.0.4/lib/et'
gcc  -o compile_et compile_et.o error_table.o 
error_table.o: In function `char_to_num':
error_table.o(.text+0x14ba): undefined reference to `__assert_fail'
make[2]: *** [compile_et] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pbanerji/src/zephyr-2.0.4/lib/et'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pbanerji/src/zephyr-2.0.4/lib'
make: *** [all] Error 1

It seems that zephyr was puking on the "assert" call in
error_table.y. I seem to have the assert.h header file, but am not
sure where the macro is or should be defined.

As far as I know, I've got a pretty vanilla Linux system...
