  I found that xfd also needed it.  This is on a Mac IIx under A/UX 1.1,
GCC 1.37, MIT X11R4 + fixes 1-4.  Haven't seen any problems with twm.
puzzle would *always* dump core without -fwritable-strings, xterm would 
always do so when switching to Tek mode.

  It took ~12 hours on my Mac IIx with 4M of memory.  From the system stats
programs I ran it looks like a good deal of the time was spent paging (gcc
is a big memory hog).  Haven't tried a Make World since I upgraded to 8M,
but I suspect it'll go a whole lot faster...
