ALEF Installation (REPOST)

I think this had some problems getting out. Sorry, if you got
it twice. --JJ

Hi 9'ers,
I've run into some problems installing the new ALEF files.

To get this far, I:
Copied the old alef tree to /sys/src/alef.old.
Installed the new tree into /sys/src/alef.
Copied back fcall.h and the conversions, convM2S & convS2M.
Copied the new include files to /sys/include/alef.
Installed the new sparc mkfile and mksyslib.
Made the dirs /$objtype/lib/alef where not done.
Made the new compilers (kal,val,8al) by running the mkfiles
in /sys/src/alef/k
                /v
                /8   
using "objtype=architecture mk" and copying the resulting binary
to /$objtype/bin.

Then from /sys/src/alef I ran "objtype=architecture mk install";
all the libraries (/$objtype/lib/alef/*.a) seem to compile fine,
(assuming none generated for the 68020 & only libA.a, libbio.a for
the 386), but $objtype=mips generates the error:
val -w div64.l
div64.l":12: syntax error near symbol 'lint'
mk: val -w div64.l  : exit status=rc 8989:val 8991 errors 
mk: for (i in ...  : exit status:=rc 8191:mk 8999:error
mk: @{cd v; mk ...  : exit status=rc 8049:val 8991:errors
mk: for (i in ...  : exit status=rc 8191:mk 8988:error
mk: @{cd v; mk ...  : exit status=rc 8042:mk 8190:error
mk: mk $objtype.install  : exit status=rc 8039:mk 8041:error

If, instead,  "mk installall" is executed from /sys/src/alef,
the compile lists errors "ar: *.8 cannot open" for:
/sys/src/alef/lib/libbio,
/sys/src/alef/lib/p9, & ( announce.l:69 WARNING parameter
                         INT nf declared but not used )
/sys/src/alef/lib/port.

Anybody got any ideas, insights?

ALSO,
 once the installation is complete, will the example code which
came on the 2nd rev cdrom, (/sys/src/alef/test, /sys/src/alef/test/Y),
all compile correctly?
