Problems building MH 6.7.2 on 88open system

 Hello,

[please tell me if I'm sending this to the wrong address.]

 Well, I'm having problems that I don't understand. I'm trying to
build mh-6.7.2 on a Dolphin Triton88/17 running SystemV/88 (88open
certified).

 I get _main as a missing symbol in mts.o, lock.o, client.o,
getbbent.o, dtimep.o etc... These files do not contain a main()
function, yet the Makefile tries to link them, causing an error. Do I
worry ?

 Sample error message:

for d in mts bboards tws mf; do (cd $d; make DESTDIR= -k all); done

 In addition, I get the following error from all files that try to
link in libmh.a :

  I'd appreciate any help, RTFM pointers, anything...

  I seem to be *so close* to have MH up-and-running, but...

  Thanks,
