The important thing for avoiding the q=0.000 problem on some
architectures seems to be that the compiler flags used in the top
for the .../src files and for the .../Implementation files must be
consistent.  But earlier Makefiles looked like this:

snake3:
        cd WWW/Library/snake; $(MAKE) CC="cc" LYFLAGS="$(SITE_LYDEFS)"
        cd src; $(MAKE) all CC="cc" MCFLAGS="-O -Ae -DFANCY_CURSES -DUNIX \
        ...


The addition of -Ae was a last-minute change before Fote released Lynx 2.7.
You had reported that you got the q=0.000 problem, but then (I think)
nobody with access to such a machine was available to test the patch
before 2.7 was released.  Well, just try it the other way:  omit the `-Ae'
from both.

Hmm, maybe that won't work, assuming somebody put the `-Ae' in initially
because otherwise it didn't work...

A workaround (although not a solution) might be to leave the flags
otherwise as they were in 2.6 (as above), but compile only
.../src/HTInit.c of all files in .../src with the `-Ae' flag.
