[MiNT] Newbie trying to compile Mint v1.17

[WongCK <wongck68@yahoo.com>]

I setup Aranym EasyMint development environment.
CVS the freemint v1.17 release source code and ran the make -f Makefile at the 
root of the Mint source code.
The source code are located in /e/dev/freemint-freemint-1_17_0 which is a hostfs 
partition.
The gcc is gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release).

I received the following error:
