Sorry, I just applied your patch and tested on my old Solaris 7 x86,
with Forte, and nothing compiles at all.  I also checked back 9 years
on the mail archives, and Gord couldn't get your $Wl hack to work on
SunOS 4:

If you can't be bothered to test your patches thoroughly, then I
can't see much point in posting them! ;-)  ROFL.

I'm sorry Ralf, but I just couldn't resist.  You are diligent beyand
the call of duty!!  Yes, please apply.
