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!
