The following patch to NetBSD-current ld/lib.c causes it to correctly
handle archive member names longer than OLDARMAXNAME (15) characters
long; without this behavior, ld reports "bad magic number" when it
tries to bring in a file with a long name from an archive.

As Mark Eichin recently reported, this is a long-standing bug in *BSD,
dating back to 386BSD 0.0, which, among other things, breaks the build
of Kerberos.

This bug likely also exists under FreeBSD.

This has been tested by rebuilding libc.a, libc_p.a, libc_pic.a, and
libc.so.1.1 without the `T' option to ar, as well as with a smaller
test case of a library containing a file named
"funkelhausersteinweitz.o".

Once you install and verify this change, you should also edit
src/share/bsd.lib.mk to change all occurances of "cTq" to "cq", and
reinstall it, then rebuild all archive libraries which contain
truncated object file names.
