No - I reinstalled a "vanilla" 5.3, and deleted the old Makefile and
object file. It seems that xmkmf operating on the Imakefile that I
showed above produces an invalid Makefile, with references to ansi.h and
others.

You can see the Makefile it produces at
http://members.rogers.com/Makefile.

Once again, thanks for taking so much trouble.  I have a nasty suspicion
it will turn out to be a silly "oops" on my part.
