I think this is related to the fact that he is doing the build on a V4.0
machine.  kernel/src/mkdata is a part of the kernel which uses the host build
compiler [i.e. the compiler on the machine hosting the sandbox], which means
he is using the platinum compiler on 3.2 based code.

Buildhelpers/compiler helpers, advice on this one?

Subject: Question regarding V4.0/V3.2 problem
Cc: bagley

Hi -

  I'm running Digital UNIX V4.0 on my workstation, and am attempting to build
  a v32de2supportos sandbox on it backed against v32de2supportos.bightly. 
"build
  setup" fails as shown below. "build setup" runs OK on another workstation
  running V3.2C for a sandbox backed against v32de2supportos.nightly.

  Any idea what gives ? Looks like a compiler compatability problem. Don't I
  inherit the compiler from the tools associated with the backing tree, or is
  cc run locally from my workstation (which would explain it) ? A similar
  problem must have existed during V4.0 development. Is there a simple
  workaround ?

  Thanks for any help.
