Me either.  Either IBM Level 1 or the MVS-OE list provided this to me.  But I
thought I had this covered.  In:

   Linkname: ./configure
        URL: http://lynx.isc.org/current/lynx2-8-4/configure

I find:

case $host_os in
openedition)
        : ${CFLAGS="-D_ALL_SOURCE -Wl,EDIT=NO"}
        : ${CC=c89}
        ;;
esac

Eek!  These are no-oped out!  But why are they working for me?  But
what does your config.status say for host_os?

I've been busy with my paying job and haven't built Lynx since dev.11.  This
is embarassing since I suggested that tweak to Tom.  :-(

Making them resolve to constants should still be character-set dependent.
Some of this is done in src/LYCharVals.h after the "#ifdef    EBCDIC".
Tom, have you any suggestions on style?

Thanks,
