That variable *is* used, if you compile with -DXLOG, which will be the
default eventually.

Also:

!case $host_cpu in
! alpha*) CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -O";;
! i386*) CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -O2";;
! esac

s/i386/i.86/, or better s/i386//.

Trouble with -O2? Being conservative?

About the regression tests: Apparently you're picking up the wrong
"expected" files. I can't make out why offhand, though. Modulo that, the
inet failure looks to be the only real trouble.
