Is this safe? After all, a Sun is not identical to a VxWorks target, so
I wouldn't be surprised if linking binary Sun system libraries to 
VxWorks had side effects. I'm sure it'll work sometimes, since the 
processors are usually '020s, but as a general practice, I'd be cautious.
Am I being paranoid here?
