I haven't heard about any new problems with wolf3d yet, but i'll try to
reproduce it.

this happens if you use gcc 3.3 or newer -- and it was fixed in dosemu
1.1.5.

for 1.1.4 a quick and dirty fix is to edit base-configure and replace
      echo 
"------------------------------------------------------------"
      echo "Sorry, a.out system detected, but we do no longer support
it"
      echo
"------------------------------------------------------------"
      exit 1
