Ah, now I understand ... and the S_ISLNK part of that file was not there
in dev.16, which explains why that one worked for me ... it wasn't needed.

The problem with dev.26 seems to be that this definition for S_ISLNK is
one of a _bunch_ held within:

 #if defined(NeXT) || defined(sony_news)

neither of which is defined on an Apollo build (and I'm not sure I'd want
or need any of the other flags anyway.)

When I took the brute force approach and copied the

  #ifndef S_ISLNK
  ...
  #endif

block and put it outside the "NeXT" conditional block, lynx dev.26 built
just fine on my Apollo!

*Obviously* this is not the "proper" fix, but I'll leave it to you folks
as to how to properly implement it in the defs. Perhaps a specific CFLAGS
for APOLLO or maybe there is a better fix?

Thanks for the help. At least now I can try to proceed with some testing
on that platform. Will report any other problems I encounter.
