You're losing with DEC as because Ultrix doesn't put underscores in
front of C extern names, but BSD does.   You're losing with a.out as
because stabs doesn't have the concept of an alternate entry point
name, or at least BFD a.out doesn't.   You can work around the latter
problem by taking out the .aent statements in MachAsmDefs.h.   Working
around the former requires modifying every C-visible external
reference or definition, which is a pain in the butt.   I'm going to
check in a temporary workaround for this problem this weekend.   This
will go away once we've got a solid toolchain that everybody's using.

Depends on what tools you're using.   I think this is probably the
right thing to do, though - anybody else want to put in their two
cents?

Or just build the 4.4/NetBSD printf command, which is what I did.
You're right, though - either way works.

I'll look at the other problems - I also just supped a new kernel, so
I should run into the same bogosity you're running into, as long as
it's generic.
