I'm running Altos System V.3d (similar to V.3.1), on a 2000/386.  Everything
compiles just fine (gld, bison, gcc, etc).  Until I get to 'gawk'.  The
compiler runs out of steam (probably due to the large macros).  So, I use'
gcc instead.  The following problem occurs:

Symbols from /lib/crt1.o:

crt1.s              |        | file |                  |      |     |

exit                |       0|extern|                  |      |     |

I have no idea what the problem here is, but I'll look into it further.
In the meantime, has anyone else seen this problem?  What is crt1.o used
for, that isn't covered in 'crt0.o'.  Thanks...
