Hm. I don't have the vaguest idea what 'overlays' are, nor how to compile
for DOS, with or without DOS extenders ;-) But I can tell you where to find
the symbols.

This is the 'initstruct' function from the struct module. You don't seem to
compile the struct module (it isn't in the list of compiled C files you
included) so you might want to comment this out. Wether this'll result in a
working Python is something else, I don't know what uses the struct module.

The signal module. Same story as above, I guess, though I assume signals
are entirely different under native DOS. Signals might live in an entirely
different file, or they might be nonexistant. I do not know wether you need
this module or not.

>Linker Error: Undefined symbol _initnt in module SOURCE\PC\CONFIG.C

The 'nt' module. I seriously doubt you need this.

>Linker Error: Undefined symbol _crypt in module SOURCE\MODULES\CRYPTM~1.C

The 'crypt' module. You don't need this, it's there for systems that have a
crypt() system call. There's a native Python 'crypt.py' somewhere out there,
so you can just comment this module out.

Hope it helps ;)
