I'm not sure, that could be, getting it to link with what
it needed to was my goal.  I had tried the syntax
(the ENTRY() thing) used in the NetBSD code, but it was
failing, because it wasn't defined, I see that you included
lwp_elf.h so, perhaps that's what I was missing.

The one I sort of remember was something like the
in-kernel memcpy wasn't detected by configure, but
when compiled it failed because it was getting redefined.

When I decide to do this again I'll be sure to get this
kind of thing written down.  At only 60MHz w/ 16MiB RAM
it can be somewhat painful.

Ok, I'll try that sometime.  FWIW I did get tokens and
did a few touch(1)es.
