DEC OSF/1 V2.0 Hints

Problems with DEC OSF/1 V2.0

Compilation using gcc fails with ntp_config.c. The problem is an apparent error in the /usr/include/sys/procset.h and /usr/include/sys/wait.h include files.

Also, if using gcc from the freeware disk, either replace syscall.h in the directory /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-dec-osf1/2.3.3/include or replace with a link to /usr/include/sys/syscall.h.
