Ok, I got a file called 7300make, or something like that with mine.  Here's
what I did to it and the Makefile:


SRC = patch.c pch.c inp.c version.c util.c
OBJ = patch.o pch.o inp.o version.o util.o assert.o
                                           ^^^^^^^^  Tacked this on here. 

all of the following was commented out.  I uncommented the dependencies.

# assert.o is now in the shared library, yeah!
assert.o:
	ar x /lib/libc.a assert.o

Whammo!  The whole thing worked.
