For what it's worth, users have also reported a very similar build
failure on sparc-Linux, using gcc-3.3.  The common factor would seem
to be that the gcc version exceeds 3.1.  I have certainly managed to
build this release of nhc98 on many platforms, including win95/Cygwin,
using the gcc-2.95.x compiler.  The best suggestion I have at the
moment is to downgrade your gcc to a known-good version.

This error is probably to do with whether your TEMP environment
variable is set.  Try either to unset it, or to set it differently.
