Re: lynx-dev 2.8.1dev.12 with slang seg faults

I've not (I have slang for test-builds on more than one 32-bit platform,
but haven't tested slang on Digital Unix - to which I have occasional
access).

Do you have DEC's compiler?  (the bit about -std1 is for that compiler;
I'll check if I set it properly in the script, but it does not apply
to gcc).
