I'm trying to compile a program on a MIPS box (computer from MIPS, not just
CPU).  It has obviously been created on a MIPS-cpu machine, such as a DEC or
an SGI, which has a mixed system V and BSD environment, because when I link
with systype sysv, ld can't find bcopy(), and when I link with systype bsd43,
ld can't find vfprintf().

Is there a reasonably clean way to get both libraries in the link?  I don't
think the program depends on being compiled with one or the other (i.e. it
doesn't use Berkeley ioctls or system V IPC or anything like that), but
I'll certainly have to be sure that the include files I use when compiling
match the library routines I link with (e.g. for stdio).

Anyone done this?  Thanks in advance.
