Sounds good, although I assume that you mean Jan 6, '99.

You only have to apply that patch if you got your kaffe snapshot
from somewhere other than Utah. Our tar file already has all the
changes incorporated into it.

It appears that your build isn't using the oskit's gcc shell
script for some reason. The oskit gcc script tells gcc to use a
special `specs' file, so that it will look in the correct places for
include files and libraries. It also is what lets gcc understand
-posix-oskit.
How did you configure kaffe? To compile kaffe against the oskit,
you need to use the script config-oskit.sh in the config/i386/oskit
directory to configure kaffe.
