[comp.lang.scheme.c] Trouble compiling Scheme 7.0 on Sun 3 / SunOS 3.5

This must have been done by somebody!

I am having trouble compiling Scheme 7.0 on a Sun 3 running SunOS 3.5.
Everything seems to be OK, but when the makefile assembles cmp68020.s,
I get the following errors:

    #** Generating cmp68020.o because of cmp68020.s
    as   -o cmp68020.o cmp68020.s
    as: error (cmp68020.s:191): Unqualified forward reference
    as: error (cmp68020.s:742): Unqualified forward reference
    as: error (cmp68020.s:1938): Unqualified forward reference
    as: error (cmp68020.s:1942): Unqualified forward reference
    as: error (cmp68020.s:1953): Unqualified forward reference

However, the makefilie continues and seems to like OK.  However, when
I run the resulting executable, it hangs while booting.

Also, before I got paths.h straightened out, scheme must have not been
able to find the various .com files, but it didn't give any sane
messages.  Is its error checking weak?

Anyway, I assume that somebody out there has gotten Scheme running on
a Sun 3.  What obvious step am I missing?
