To quote the petunia, "Oh, no, not again".... :-)  Somebody else saw
this as well.

I'll bet "register.c" doesn't include a call to "proto_register_eth()".

Try removing "register.c" and "register.o", and rebuilding; if it still
crashes, try removing the "@" signs from the "for f in ..." commands in
the rules for "register.c" in the Makefile, removing "register.c" and
"register.o" again, and doing a "make", with the standard output and
error teed off to a file.

Was this FreeBSD?  If so, then it means that this has happened on

	1) the same platform I run at home;

	2) a later release of the platform than the one on which I run
	   at work (Solaris 7 vs. Solaris 2.5.1);

but it worked for me on both of those platforms, so I'm curious what the
heck is different....
