I was referring to "CLFAGS" as oppose to "CFLAGS.  The
"L" and "F" were flipped.

Oops! I must appologize for making you repeat
yourself.  The email slipped my mind for some reason,
so it didn't ring a bell when I got my error.  I
must've assumed that things were straightened out and
just left it in the back of my head.  On a side note,
I tried deleting vm.c, vm.h, little.image, and even
slatevm.h, but I was still getting a problem with
regards to InterruptFlag. However, involking 'make
clean' did the trick.

Well, good news on this matter. I just successfully
compiled the VM using "make" and was able to finish
the bootstrap sequence.  For those that are
interested, I used GCC-4.0, and installed
ia32-libs-dev.  I added the '-m32' flag to CCFLAGS in
common.mk.  Looks like I'll be able to explore Slate
again, now that 64-bit Ubuntu has become my main OS
and I've finally understood the environment enough to
make this work.
