Hollering.
I did a MMK realclean between the builds, which gets rid if any
dangling executables.

Ahhh....
Apparently the MMK/FROM_SOURCES TEST is creating the non debug version for
it's use, and that is causing the tests to fail.
So I need to modify that command in my master build file to also
have the /macro=__DEBUG__=1 for that MMK command.

Currently I am using:
$ @build_root:['root']configure.com -"Dusevmsdebug" -
"-Dunlink_all_versions" "-Duselargefiles" "-Dusesymlinks" -
"-Dusehardlinks" "-Dosname=GNV" "-de"
If the GNV build works, I am going to make it imply:
unlink_all_versions, uselargefiles, usesymlinks, and usehardlinks,
and possibly enabling all 64 bit options.
I plan to also put in vms.h the #ifdef for the GNV environment to set
the C feature logical to default to that all file specifications will
be in UNIX format and case sensitive, unless the user overides this.
