Funny thing, in that case I'd have thousands of files with a "?", and
instead only have a few.

And so, I just took a look at the makefile on the 2.3 CDROM, and sure
enough, as far as I can tell, those specific kerberos files were _not_
put in ./obj, which is why they are sitting around....

I don't really have time to fact check every error line, or re-write the
entire BSD source tree by hand all by myself, which is why I posted them
here, for those who were more knowledgable to check, and cooperate in
working together.

Thus far, tho, every time I post a problem, I get the defensive "that's
not a problem".  Or, "nobody else has complained" tripe -- and then
someone else says, "yeah, it was already reported months ago, but nobody
fixed it".

I'll note that months ago, I made specific suggestions on language to
fix the web pages for source compilation on 2.3, since the union method
hangs the system, and the commands listed don't actually work.  Yet,
nobody fixed the web pages, leading to ever more dissatisfied customers,
and the same questions that I raised showing up on this list multiple
times, again and again.

What is the reason why this group cannot actually do any work together?

Is there another list for people who want to cooperate?
