Try this patch to use a more reasonable default configuration:

bash$ cvs diff -u c/src/libmisc/dummy

This is more like what is used to be around Dec 1999.
Now the defaults are lower to save memory.

The call to "boot_card" in psim/start/start.S needs
to pass argc, argv, and environp.  See the file
libbsp/m68k/shared/start.S for an example of how this
is supposed to be.  I don't see any PPC code that
is setting it up properly.  The best I see at first
glance is 0's for argc/argv -- nothing for environp.

environp must be passed in to make setenv work.
