Thanks, that seemed to do the trick. I made the change you suggested, did make
clean in .../lib/readline, then make, then ../../make and it linked
correctly. make check seemed OK with a few odd messages like
warning: ... If the tests of the
warning: process substitution mechanism fail, please do not consider
warning: this a test failure
Thanks for the help :-))

I've not seen this before, nor do I have any SGI boxes to look at, so there
will be some amount of blind shooting here.
You could try adding -DNEED_EXTERN_PC to the value of the LOCAL_CFLAGS
variable in lib/readline/Makefile and remaking terminal.o. This changes
how PC is declared. Then relink and see if that fixes the problem.
