lwtools has worked flawlessly here for several years now. The complete

I'd suspect something along that path. Look at the makefile's, defsfile's 
and rules.make in the nitros9 tarball. I'm not in a position to try a 
new build ATM as I just barely have kmail running on this old memory 
starved Dell.
