System: NetBSD azathoth 1.2_BETA NetBSD 1.2_BETA (AZATHOTH) #100: Mon Sep 2 21:56:30 EDT 1996 root@azathoth:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/AZATHOTH i386

>Description:
	crt0.o is supposed to be a mostly-standalone module.  NetBSD's
violates that rule because it uses strerror(), which uses catopen(),
which uses...you get the idea.

>How-To-Repeat:

# cd /usr/src/bin/sync
# make

Wonder why /bin/sync is 36K when all it does is execute ONE SYSCALL.

>Fix:
	Apply these patches to /usr/src/lib/csu/common.[ch].  After I
did so, /bin/sync shrank from 36K to 12K; all of /bin shrank from
2729K to 2705K.  (All right, so it's not a lot; but it's a start.)
