In fact, I had to remove similar lines from several files in that
directory:
draw.c  dvipng.c  enc.c  font.c  pk.c  special.c  t1.c

After that, all of teTeX compiled using the native cc and cxx.

But alas, the resulting xdvi displayed the same errors as before.

Oh yes, I had even removed the source directory and unpacked the
tetex-src*.tar.gz file again.

Yes. Thomas Esser pointed out that I ought to disable mt-belleek.map
when using Mathtime.
