It didn't fail - I just didn't specify the correct options to cvs update 
to get it to bring that down :-( .

However, I now get:
-bash-2.05b$ make -f GNUmakefile
make -C Tools
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/home/riscos/riscos/oslib/RO-OSLib/!OsLib/Tools'
make -C BindHelp

Is that due to the version of gcc I'm running?

-bash-2.05b$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
