- ld returns uncleanly
- The V7 ld has a nonzero exit status when undefined external symbols
- exist in its final output, even when the options fed to it clearly
- indicate that this is legitimate. This screws up several things,
- including use with make. Does anybody know if this "feature" really
- is of any use? (Note that you can test for undefined externals using
- nm and grep, so this obvious use is unimportant.) I would like to
- eliminate it by putting the exit-status "|= 01" inside the same set of
- if's that govern the undefined-symbols error messages. Comments?
