[I'm using the "current" binaries from ftp.iastate.edu since I don't
have space to build it myself.]

Programs that load .o files with "ld -A" no longer work, producing an
error about __DYNAMIC not being defined.  This can be fixed by adding
the -Bstatic flag.  Does -A make any sense for shared library linking?
Would it not be sensible to make static linking the default when -A
is used, as seems to be the case in SunOS?
