Methinks it can't find as86 (the x86 assembler).  Usually as86 can be
found in /usr/bin.  If not, try

    locate as86
or
    find /usr -name as86 -print
or
    find / -name as86 -print

If this doesn't find anything, you don't have it installed and you'll need
to install it (it should be on the CD, in a package named binutils or
similar).

If you have found as86 on the machine, you'll need to find the place in
the makefile where the failed command appears and replace "as86" with
"/usr/bin/as86" (or whereever you found that as86 lives on your machine).

Good luck,
J.
