"make Linux" error

I know that the platform-specifics aren't supposed to build yet, I was just 
testing to see what _did_ happen.  I get some very weird results, like gcc 
not being able to compile an executable.  I would have thought the error 
would have been somewhere in the compilation of XWT:
