No joy... it appears that a bit of editing needs to be done to the 
source files before compiling under Linux, and 32bit Linux at that:
from the readme file in the source directory:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
                        Euphoria for Linux, exu
GNU C
=====
  You'll have to convert the line terminators in the
  source files to the Linux standard of \n, rather than
  the Windows/DOS form of \r\n, otherwise several files
  will give you errors. You can use:

       exu fixline.ex

  for this. Also, when you save a file using ed.ex, it will let you
  convert to \n terminators. You should also ensure that all
  source file names are lower case (unzip -L).

  build exu with: imakeu
  Make sure it has \n line-terminators, and execute permission
  (chmod +x imakeu).

  exu will run at full speed. -DINT_CODES is not used.

  The interactive trace, trace(1) should fully work.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll do all the above and try again.

But I'm a bit confused .....  I was thinking that there might be a
switch for gcc to allow it to emit 32bit code. Or a GNU cross compiler
or something.
