I built tgrind and installed tgrind for the sun in the sipb locker.
In order to do this, I had to add a #define to tfontedpr.c, regexp.c,
and retest.c to change the symbol _start to tgrind_start. For reasons
beyond the comprehension of my puny mortal mind, the author of tgrind
decided to begin his external symbol names with an underline. Perhaps
he thought life was too boring without the possibility of linker
collisions. At any rate, the Solaris crt0.o uses _start for its own
diabolical purposes, so having an external symbol named _start caused
tgrind to dump core.
The new files installed are:
/mit/sipb/sun4lib/tfontedpr
/mit/sipb/sun4bin/tgrind (symlink to ../common/bin/tgrind)
It appears to work fine. It should appear when the sipb locker next
updates.
