System name:		whirlwind
Type and version:	SPARC/5 7.7T (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	link against libraries in the motif1.2 locker

What's wrong:
	bin is syslinked to arch/@sys/bin, but the only
	@sys link in arch is for the sgi.  Unfortunately,
	I'm trying to build a large application that has
	a hierarchy of make files, so changing how it
	points at the motif library is a pain (it uses
	-L/mit/motif/lib, or actually, attaches "/lib" to
	the value of an environment variable).

What should have happened:
	Would it be possible to add the appropriate links
	in arch so that platforms besides the sgi can
	benefit from the arch approach to locker configuration?

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
