I tried to follow the instructions in the document "Building EPICS
R3.13 extensions with R3.14 base", but the document appears to be out
of date. I set the symbol COMPAT_TOOLS_313=YES in base/configure/
CONFIG_SITE as instructed and then tried to do a make in base/config/
tools, but that failed as there is no Makefile there. I looked back to
the R3.14.5 release (I'm using R3.14.9) and found that in that
release, /config/tools does have a Makefile. I copied it into my
R3.14.9 release and then did a make, which worked, but that did not
help building the R3.13 extension. The problem is that the struct
'oldChannelNotify' is not defined. Presumably, that's what the
compatibility mechanism is supposed to do, but it doesn't seem to work.
