It seems this hasn't made it to the top of your list, and I can understand 
that.  Let's not spend time on this, I'd say.  Today I realized that the 
DLX emulator also faces a similar fate and only builds with GCC 2.95, so 
let's just remove the reference.  Clearly interest is minimal.

The patch below is what I committed now.  Thanks again for the background
you provided, Peter!
