I had something extra installed that was confusing the HylaFAX configuration.

I removed it, and re-extracted the HylaFAX source, and re-applied the
gcc-2.8.x compatibility patches.

Yes.

No.

Yes.  Something has changed.  I have no trouble compiling 4.0pl2 using
gcc-2.7.2.2.  The problem is we are phasing out gcc-2.7.2.2 on our systems,
and I am working on some other HylaFax issues, so need to be able to 
recompile HylaFax under gcc-2.8.1, if possible.  I'd hate to have to keep
gcc-2.7.2.2 around for the sole purpose of compiling HylaFax.

Yes.  I am having some modem/port problems and may need to do some additional
source modifications to work around them.  Sun Serial port flow control
pedantics and CD/DSR timing issues seem to be interfering with some newer 
Multitech modems we have, and I can't seem to work around it with modem 
settings and supported config options.  I hate to try to support software
here that I can't readily recompile as needed.
