Add icmp to /etc/protocols.

Try the latest prerelease of gcc 2.95 instead. 2.8.1 is old and fairly
broken.

No. If you think you are having compiler problems you could try -O1.

I think ELF is working ok on 26-bit machines these days, though I haven't ever
really used it much. If you want to try this you should probably use the
latest development version of binutils and, again, gcc 2.95. There is a small
patch for the latter at
<ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/users/p/philb/gcc-2.95-diff-990716.gz> which might
also help.
