The step it's dying on is:
/usr/bin/ld tnmInit.o tnmUtil.o tnmJob.o tnmIned.o tnmSyslog.o ...
[all successfully-built .o files elided]
tnmMibTcl.o -o tnm -lrpc -lresolv -ltcl7.5 -ltk4.1 -lm -ll
This is just not going to make sense on a BSDI system.
I understand why you're trying, but it's not going to
work.

and then it dies. One suggestion I saw from the list (from Cameron
(thanks!)) about this step suggested what it really wanted was
ar qv tnm.a [*.o]
but this, although it ran, produced magic number errors when subsequent
steps tried to use the .a file thus created. Any further help would
be greatly appreciated.

! Magic number errors? A subsequent step would have
been something like
cc -o scotty scotty.o tnm.a ... -ltcl ...
*That* gave a magic number error? I'm quite puzzled.
If you can get me on your system, I'll work through it;
or, if you figure it out, let me know, and I'll add that
to my notes.
You've got a couple of other possibilities:
1. You don't need tnm.a. It's possible to do
cc -o scotty *.o ... -ltcl ...
and I've done it, except it's not exactly
*.o you want, but almost-*.o. I bet you can
work through it with just a little persever-
ance.
2. Are you *sure* there's no dynamic linking on
your machine? Some BSD machines (none to
which I'll have ready access this month) have
mkshlib or related freeware. That's another
direction you could take this.
Statically-linking stuff has worked well for me. I know
I haven't documented that completely, yet, but doing so
doesn't pay the bills. I add more to my documents as I
make time to do so, but it's been a struggle.
Good luck.
