Actually, there may be several bugs in here.  I had problems building
ligcc1.a and discovered that my version of join (which is used in the
lorder script) produces output that differ from what a previous version
produced.  I got old source for join from Nov 7th, rebuilt join and now
the library builds ok.  (The one that didn't work was from Nov 15th.)  It
seems like the newest join produced a fully expanded product of the two
tables.  I have not investigated this further.

Anyway, tsort still has a bug.
