What were you trying to do?
Use the Athena xmkmf.
What went wrong?
It sets the compiler to this ugly long string of junk that uses gcc
-Bfoo -traditional, but that's a different complaint. :-) The
Makefile I got had `PICFLAGS = -pic'.
What should have happened?
Given that it's using gcc, it should have set `PICFLAGS = -Fpic'
Anything else you'd like to add?
Yeah: why isn't this using cygnus gcc? Or, at least, is there some
way I can convince people to make it stop using -traditional?
Maybe if I volunteer to get all the code to build without it or
something? (I know I could get help in that endeavor... :-)
