Tests so far:

NetBSD 1.5.5 on x86:

treecc, pnet, pnetlib build OK using 'gmake'.  pnet & pnetlib 'cd test; 
make check'
passed all tests.  Tested all samples in both directories except 
pnetlib/httpsrv,
all worked correctly.

pnetC fails to configure; /usr/bin/cpp is a shell script that
runs the real 'cpp', and it's choking on something it's being fed and 
thinks it's
preprocessing STDIN, so it just hangs until you hit EOF during the C 
compiler check.

I haven't tried to debug this beyond this point.  I'll try to get back 
to it tomorrow.

FreeBSD 4.4 on x86:

treecc, pnet, pnetlib build OK using 'gmake'.  Tested the same as 
NetBSD, with same
complete success.

pnetC configures and builds OK, but all samples that attempt to execute 
a printf
call containing a format specifier dump core.  (Segmentation error, if I 
remember
correctly.)  Hello.exe and Hello2.exe without any command line arguments 
work, the
rest die.

I'll try to track this down as well.

I'll try to do a test on MacOS tomorrow as well.  Not sure if I can get 
a Solaris
test done this cycle; things are getting busy at work again.
