Just for the record, I think there are still TWO FAQs (soon to be
merged?).  The one that answers this any many other such questions is
Nathan William's buglist in ~pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/williams
on, e.g., agate.

What you need is to patch Makefile.i386.  Patch00001 of Terry Lambert's beta
patch kit will do this.  I believe there is also a patch for config, so
you'll want apply this and recompile config before using it.
