The snake (and snake2) targets build fine, but snake3 won't build.  I just
tried the standard source, though, and it also refuses to build for
different reasons.  Your problems appear in the first file, and are as
follows:

        cc -c -o ../../Library/snake/HTParse.o -O -DDEBUG -Ae
-DDIRED_SUPPORT -DLONG_LIST   -I../../Library/Implementation/
-DXMOSAIC_HACK -DACCESS_AUTH  ../../Library/Implementation/HTParse.c

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

The standard source problem seems to be related to the dirent structures
in HTFile.c.  For some reason or another that is not apparent to me
through all of the spaghetti ifdef'ing in tcp.h, <dirent.h> is not being
included.  I'll try to track it down as time permits, and post a patch.
Well, adding #include <dirent.h> to the beginning of HTFile.c does indeed
produce a working binary.  Apparently 2.7 fixed the problems with
text/html; q=0.000, cause I've tried 2.7 compiled on the problem machine
here with all of the snake targets.  Anyway, I'm gonna go track this thing
down... :)
