Very Computer

I'm using Linux (Red Hat 4.2, with gcc 2.7.2 installed), and I just
downloaded pgp 2.6.2 from the MIT Web site.  I'm having trouble
compiling it; it looks like a makefile error, and I'm too lazy to try
to debug the makefiles myself.

I changed to rsaref/install/unix, and typed "make".  It built rsaref.a
successfully using all of the defaults.  (Including -DUSEMPILIB.)

Then I changed back to ../../../src, and typed "make linux".  All of
the .o files get created without error. (Again using -DUSEMPILIB.)  At
link time, though, I get a lot of errors about undefined symbols
P_SETP, P_SUBB, P_SMULA, p_setrecip, p_quo_digit, P_ADDC, _window, and
so on.

Clearly something is configured incorrectly.  I haven't edited the
makefiles in any way; is there something additional that I need
to do?

Getting PGP to compile for Linux ELF systems
(from http://www.mit.edu/people/warlord/pgp-faq.html)

Linux/ELF changes

The PGP 2.6.2 sources do not build under Linux/ELF. If you want to build
2.6.2 as an ELF binary, you need to make two changes, one each to 80386.S
and zmatch.S. Near the beginning of the file you will find a #if directive
for SYSV. Apply the appropriate change to the appropriate file to get it
to work:

(for 80386.S)
    #ifndef SYSV ==> #if !defined(SYSV) && !defined(__ELF__)

(for zmatch.S)
    #ifdef SYSV ==> #if defined(SYSV) || defined(__ELF__)

Compiling a USA version is well documented in 2.6.3ia.

and it should compile fine.. the problem lies in the fact that when
Linux switch'd from a.out to ELF binary linkin format that it doesn't
know how to handle the assembly code that gets compiled in with the C
code since ELF linkin handles it differently...

Um, the subject line is (I think) exactly what I am checking into this
newsgroup for. Would one of the participants in this thread please forward
me canned answers 1-4, please? Thanks in advance.
Cheers...
