yes, I think so (I did not notice because most of the systems did not
require -ltermlib, and the Linux one relied on the the chaining of shared
libraries -- I test on my FreeBSD partition occasionally but it stops other
activity since I have it configured only for test builds - no modem, etc.)

I'm not sure - I will take a look to see if I can see the 'squished'.  (I
thought that the formatting was pretty stable -- but there is one that is
from Fote's changes that deals with spacing before/after paragraphs, etc.,
which may be what we are talking about - if so, I'll check that the
development version does appear as the 2.7.2-patched).
