You gave up way too easily.  ;-)

There are two files that give gcc problems:  date.c and opt_util.c.  Both of these
are easy to fix.

In date.c, place an #ifndef __STDC__, #endif pair around the declaration of time().

In opt_util.c, place an #ifndef __ultrix__ #endif pair around the definitions of
strtok() and strpbrk().  The ULTRIX C library contains these functions.  A better
solution would be to update the Configure script to check for the existence of
these funtions.

If you make both these changes, gcc *will* compile ELM on the ULTRIX operating
system.
