I could, but it wouldn't help -- the bug is in the system's startup
code, which isn't part of the compiler.  Fortunately, I have source
code, so I can fix it.  After setting up the environ global variable
before running the initialization code, things work much better.  I have
one last problem -- contrib/pdfmark/pdfroff.sh makes extensive use ofthe
"type" command, which is *NOT* a standard shell command.  I was able to
work around it by changing the first line from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash,
but it should probably be rewritten portably.
