Think this is an all time record for talking to myself :) ....

Well, famous last words.  Turns out that beyond toy programs
this just did not work:  Compiler (8c) gave errors, 9vx crashes more
than normal, and programs built did the wrong thing.  So with 9vx,
something is definitely out of sync when doing the build the original
way.  So what I had to do is reinstall 9vx from scratch, install a
9vx ape tarball I found I had around and applied to the very original
install (that got messed up) which contained 386 ape executables, as
well as pulled in some .a files, which I believe gives me back the
original 9vx system.  Don't understand why the rebuild did not
yield something without problems, but something in the piecemealing
might be an issue.

Adding 5l/5c/5i/5a as well as some arm lib's from the build though seems
ok so far, but nothing serious run yet, so I'll probably be revisiting
this part.
