System name:		deathtongue
Type and version:	SPARC/IPX 7.6R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Compile a program.  The program does not use the function bcopy()
	or the function index().  The program does, however, use the
	hesiod library.

What's wrong:
	bcopy() and index() are undefined.

What should have happened:
	It should have compiled.	

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	When built for Solaris, the hesiod library shoud use memcpy()
	and strchr().  As a general rule, it is a bad idea to build
	a library with routines that are not defined on the system.
