Hmm.. I'll try and figure out why it wants that.

looking into libppxp.a, it has:

ppxp.o:
[snip]
         U Strdup
         U SysMsgInit
         U XcioOpen
         U XcioRead
         U XcioWrite
         U __ctype_b
         U __strtol_internal
         U chdir
         U close
         U connect

so, something in 
lib/ppxp.c is probably the culprit. I don't see a direct
reference to __ctype_b there.

I don't have time right now, this is to jot down up to what I have found.
