I'll take a look at it.  I tried building it, and it fails like this:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNSL_FORK  -I../../.. -I../../../src -I../../.. -I../../../src -I../../../WWW/Library/Implementation -O2 -DLINUX    -I../../../WWW/Library/Implementation/ -DXMOSAIC_HACK -DACCESS_AUTH  -c  ../../../WWW/Library/Implementation/HTTP.c
/tmp/cc7yumcg.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc7yumcg.s:2388: Error: Can not represent OFFSET_IMM relocation in this object file format (1)
make[2]: *** [../../Library/unix/HTTP.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jim/src/lynx/lynx-2.8.1/WWW/Library/unix'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

My guess is that it is an egcs bug.  The offending assembly looks like:

  2385  .L859:
  2386          cmp     r7, #0
  2387          addne   r6, r7, #1
  2388          ldreq   r6, .LC138
  2389          beq     .L862
  2390          ldr     ip, [fp, #-2320]
  2391          rsb     r3, r9, r6
  2392          rsb     r3, r3, ip
  2393          str     r3, [fp, #-2272]
  2394          b       .L863

But there is no .LC138 symbol defined anywhere else.

Lynx did build successfully back when we were using Corel's gcc.
