Evidentally, the optimizer is forgetting about how far away some things
are.  I got the same problem.  Compile as much as you can with the optimizer
(-O flag) and compile the ones that break by hand.  In this case,

cc -I../include -c apply.c

Nethack is the only program I've ever had do this.  Anyone know why this
happens?
