Subj: 	Building BL6 from scratch

Ok, I have the wrong model.  I thought that I could build a OSF kernel 
from source by copying them over to a Flamingo and compiling them.   
After blowing a day manually installing symbolic links, etc. I've 
realized that this isn't just hard, it's impossible.  For instance, 
there are no instances of dirent.h, or standards.h in the kernel 
source tree.  If that's weren't enough, syscall.h gets synthesized 
in some alchemical process known only to ksh hackers and my alembic 
is on the fritz. 

All that I'm looking for is a way to build a kernel from sources 
out here in Podunk.  Maybe that isn't possible and I need a intro 
to sandboxes instead.  This is trickier than I thought.

What's the right move?  No, I don't yet have an account on a production 
machine.
