I compiled with ANSI-c right out of the box, just 'make' (which is
gnu make 3.78.1)

no

Ansi-C. copied the Makefile.set.gcc to Makefile.set and compiled again with
simply 'make' ('make distclean' before)

what's 'newer' ? We installed all relevant OS and development patches
at least up to September 2000. 10.20 came back a while ago so you could
have been sleeping on the original versions ...
