Oh, Ok, so it is done "outside" of the normal make, make test, make
install process....

The final upshot is:

largefile crashes  -- expected as we have little space.
curses crashes -- Not really surprising, given I'm doing this from a PC,
        and using an xterm tool from there.
nis gets skipped -- again, not staggering if it assumes we are not using
        nisplus, because we are using nisplus.

I therefore think I can live with these limitations, and go ahead and
install.
Thank you to everyone, particularly Martin, for their help, patience and
encouragement.
