[Coco] OS-9 / NitOS-9 C programmers, lend me your makefiles

Jeff,

I moved onto the next phase of my testing the concatenation/appending of
macro values and discovered a bug.  I started adding to the CFLAGS macro in
the make.default file and caused some crashes.  Turns out I wasn't
allocating space to the oldmaval (old macro value) variable and was causing
a buffer overrun and subsequent crash.  I also need to go back and find out
why concatenation from the command line also crashes.
