make clean 
make 

Oops! I forgot to delete the phoney libm.a I created. 

Try again: It works. ( for the -lm problem. I did readline 
without the -ltermcap manually and continued with make. ) 


I answered one of my other questions with a test: sticking
termios and fcntl into Modules/Setup did seem to cause it 
to NOT build as a shared lib. 

I did find one other MacOS case insensitivity problem: 
 although socketmodule is built as _socketmodule.so, and included
by lib/socket.py, lib/plat-Darwin1.2/SOCKET.py appears
to be un-importable. (  on an HFS+ volume, that is. ) 


I noticed again that 'make test' doesn't really work until 
after a 'make install' , as none of the platform files are
generated from lib/plat-generic until the install phase. 

Ideally, this ought to get done earlier in the make. 

If there no simple fix for that: what do we need to do to 
get a lib/plat-Darwin1.2 directory with prebuilt files
added to the distribution ?  ( I have all the files after
a successful install. )
