I'd not looked for a couple of months, but when I built pdksh in December,
it was because the one one hobbes (and leo) did not work properly (from
the change notes, this was a bug that was fixed in pdksh last summer,
so older ones are broken: among other things, the code that processed
continuation-lines in here-documents did not work properly, so ncurses
did not build -- I don't think there's a direct impact on lynx, since I
don't recall generating lists for the makefiles in that program).

(I just checked: the binaries on hobbes are the old ones, and don't work
properly).
